What. A. Blast. Yes, I said that! I also screamed. So loud in fact, that another one of the journalists on the trip joked that he thought I’d fallen off. But man, what a rush. Before our first run, we got a long list of instructions that started to run together and make me worry that I’d forget to do something. I was nervous. The first person in our group asked to go first in order to take photos as we all came in. And then my SON jumped up and went second, getting over his nerves very quickly. What’s a mom to do but follow suit?
The zip line tour took us across seven different lines, the grandest being 200′ high and 800′ long. It was gorgeous, though I must admit that I didn’t do much sightseeing as I was focusing on what I was supposed to be doing. I don’t yet have photos of myself on that line – and I declined to record myself screaming, as my husband requested – but here we are harnessed up:
Lovely, eh?
Here’s Evan getting ready to take off:

And here’s a net bridge that we had to cross to get to one of the lines. Frankly, this was scarier for me than the zip lines!
Fun, yes?

That is definitely on my ‘bucket list.’ Ever since getting addicted to The Amazing Race tv show, I’ve wanted to do that.
Cave tubing was on my list, but now it’s crossed off. And that is a pure rush, too! I highly recommend it.
I can’t wait to see more of your pictures!

I can’t wait to show the kids the pictures — fun indeed!
