'Daddy, are we having an adventure?'

John Selover

"YES , Sweetie, we are."

We had just reached the top of the Sponge, an outcropping of rock in the Pinnacles National Monument in California. My 12-yearold daughter and I, with a friend and his likeaged son, were on the exposed rock and swept by a sudden squall of wind and blown rain and sleet. And it was an adventure—manageable, but still an adventure.

Quickly and carefully we rappelled down to shelter until the storm blew by. We were not in serious danger, but it was important to get all of us down safely. And once warm and dry, it was fun for us to relive the brief adventure and describe it (of course without exaggeration!) to family and friends.
