Ziplines!

On Wednesday Brian, Marcella, Mark and I went on a zipline course. There were 9 different ziplines. I can't say that I was excited about it, terrified would be the better choice of words. But, I knew I would regret it if I didn't go. So, I went. I was so very terrified.

Here we are in the truck heading out to the course.

Here I am getting strapped onto the first zip line.

And there I go, hanging on for dear life. Good thing I have on sunglasses or you'd see that my eyes were squeezed very, did I say very tightly closed.

Mark on the other hand had no fear. Check out this self portrait.

I think this suspension bridge was the worst part. You had to look down, since the boards wern't evenly spaced. It was also just a little wiggly. Yikes!

After 8 ziplines, we went to a little swimming hole with a waterfall. I actually jumped off the cliff into the water. Another major hurdle. It took me quite a while to work up the courage. Then I was quick to get out. Brian, Marcella and Mark enjoyed the water for a little bit longer.

The last zipline was the highest, hardest to get to and 1200 feet long. It was also a double one so we went as couples.

This picture is Brian and Marcella on their way down.

It seems so far to the landing platform. Oh, and I beat Mark to the platform.

We also had to climb up. It was a challenging climb and we had to go quite high.

It was quite a day, full of firsts for all of us. I don't know if I could say that I had fun, but I'm proud of myself for doing it and not letting my fear stop me.

So now I think I've covered most of our trip. It was a great time and we loved every moment of it. Especially getting to spend some wonderful time with family.
