Id love to do some sort of agility with mine as they all seem to love to run. Problem is everytime I get running around with them I cant help but laugh, then I stumble and fall over laughing and get attacked with tounges in ears and up my nose, its like the worst wet willy ever. They love chasing things, one of them would be fun to watch trying that long jump thing into water. She wouldnt go far but shed go full tilt off the end of a dock if you throw something for her. I really like the agility course too, weaving. Fun stuff. They just have such a low ground clearance, the jumps may be an issue. You have any suggestions for reading or anything that gives a person an idea on how to get started in training them for that or setting up a training path? There smart enough for it, im the one that needs to learn. Thanks.

Photography is probably my next one after aquariums but recently I've been getting pretty hard into RC helicopters and trucks. I highly recommend everyone go buy a decent starter RC truck from a hobby store, like the Traxxas Stampede 1:10 scale electric. Only $200 and tonnes of fun, 100% submersible so snow or ran still works great.

Target shooting, R/C, and lately exploring the world of pyrotechnics and sugar rockets.

I play competitive foosball, I like Mini coopers (I have 3), I love playing with my kids and just hanging out at home. I don't know if you cal traveling a hobby but our family loves traveling. My son is 5yrs old and he's been on almost 50 flights.

In no particular order.. photography, growing orchids, 2000 gallon koi pond out back, building models (mostly spaceships), Mountain biking, snowboarding, jogging, guitar.

lets see, besides my reef, I have a 25gal freshwater tank, I also spent lots of time hunting & fishing. I got my private pilot's licence a few years ago, but since the birth of my son & building a house I haven't been flying in 2 years. I also read, play pool, quad, and no idea what else takes up my time. I am trying to get into wood working a little bit now too.

For the one that plays Magic, I did that tons around 15years ago, still have my cards, going back to beta edition through to an edition past ice age.

I like to build and turbo my hondas lol, snowboarding, hiking, fishing, cod black ops, and spend time with the gf. Just starting photography at the moment.

Sweet, you have a giant Koi pond. We have a pond in our front yard. We were going to tear up the majority of our backyard this past summer for a huge pond but the kids wanted one more summer of a big yard before we dig it up for a huge pond. We are going to do a big pond next fall in the back. The front yard pond has been such a joy that we decided to do a pond in the backyard where we spend more time. Either way, we still get to enjoy our aquarium from the front yard or backyard :)

Woodworking, fishing, gardening and spending time up at the lake cabin with the family. I don't think the cabin is really a hobby but the copious beer drinking certainly is.
