Every weekend is an adventure for Senior Airman Audra Stillions and her husband Devon.

Along with their 4-year-old son Tobe, the family of three enjoys just about every type of outdoor recreation. From jogging, rock climbing and biking in the summer to camping and cross country skiing in the winter, there's never a dull moment year-round.

"I'm outdoors all day," said Audra, a Reservist with the 446th Airlift Wing at McChord Field. "It's great."

Audra is an avid outdoorsman. She spends about four hours per day during the week and up to 10 hours on the weekend. She began taking classes earlier in her life to advance her knowledge in strategic outdoor activities.

She recently ventured out to Deep Creek, inside Spokane's Riverside State Park, to climb basalt rock. It's her favorite outdoor activity and provides the opportunity to clear her head.

"You're so focused on what your foot position is, where your hands are going and what you're doing with your gear," she said.

While Audra is heavy into high-risk outdoor activities, Devon works as an Air Force Survival, Escape & Evasion instructor at Fairchild Air Force Base, where he specializes in the survival portion.

It seems as though the married couple, who live in Medicine Lake right outside Fairchild, were meant for each other. Now that the couple has a 4-year-old to look after, they try and take him where they possibly can.

"(Outdoor recreation is) integrated into our lives as one of our norms," Devon said. "A lot of kids like to play video games, but the fact he likes to go rock climbing, play soccer, fish and more gives him a one-up in his future. He'll have more experiences outside instead of inside."

Devon, 27, said outdoor recreation gives them a chance to be spend more time together and not be locked up inside the house.

"We like to do things that he can do," Audra said. "It's focused on him and how his body will react. That's how we determine what we do."

Being outside together has also shed additional light on their marriage and the concept of teamwork.

"We learn how to work together and figure out different obstacles together," she said. "My husband is very patient when it comes to rock climbing. He lets me do my own thing."

Audra enlisted in the Reserves in 2010 and visits the installation every other weekend for her duties as a mental health technician. She's also pursuing a bachelor's degree in children's study and minoring in outdoor recreation at Eastern Washington University.
