Once upon a time in a weekend not too far away, my friend came to visit with her two kids... Let's do something new we said... It will be fun we said...
Hiking, Kayaking, swimming, or Paddle Boarding we said....
A little while later we were all hanging from trees... Really Really HIGH trees!
Adventures for 2016 continue and this one... Well, it was pretty cool... My favorite part though was watching the boys work together, conquer fears, and thrive in the outdoor playground.
Would I do this one again? Well, I don't have a choice because the Teen wants to take his dad... Sooo....I'll do it again. Was it crazy scary? Eh... I think it would have been had I not been harnessed up in a prior tree course long ago.
During that adventure, I fell off a platform and experienced what it was like to utilize the harness. Knowing what the drop and catch felt like, showed me that this adventure would be no different. Worse case scenario? You fall, pull yourself up, and start over. It isn't like you'll hit the ground unless a tree breaks or the cable above you does. And well, there were storms the week before...Buuuttt never-mind that... HOWEVER, this one was different because the whole harness clippy thing was quite finicky and there weren't any guides on the course itself. Therefore, you figure it out at each station, or sit there until someone finds you.
I'm not mechanically inclined... So I spent a lot of time figuring it out.
Summary: Was it scary? Not so bad... Was I slow as a turtle stuck in a mud pile?... Oh Yeah! Was it an afternoon full of laughter? Most definitely!
