Zip Line

Do you need a good laugh? Here ya go.... feel free to laugh at me. I got in touch with my adventurous side last week and I gave into peer pressure. What was I thinking?

Our neighbors put up a cool zip line in their back yard. I have been wanting to try it out since they put it up. Tim was working from home last Thursday and so was Shane (our neighbor) so he invited Tim over to go down the zip line. I was heading out to go Visiting Teaching and I stopped over there first. Tim asked if I wanted to go down. "Yes, of course I do" But then Shane said that they needed to fix the breaks first. So I was happy to wait. But then Tim said I could do it with out breaks, I just needed to put my feet out when I got to the tree to stop myself. I said "No, that's ok, I'll wait". Then Tim called me a chicken and said I could do it no problem, after all... he just did it a bunch of times. So I gave into peer pressure said ok and I went for it. It was so much fun!!! Until I got to the tree. I didn't have a successful stop and smacked right into the tree! Like George of the Jungle. I got a couple cool bruises out of it though. They are proof that I have an adventurous side. Here is the video...feel free to laugh at me. I do every time I watch it.

I did it again two days later on Saturday after the breaks were fixed. It was fun!

Check out my sweet bruise... My brothers will be so proud! I have a matching one on my bum... You don't want to see that one though. :o)
