Zip Lining!

Zipping was one of my "goal weight" list items and I made it happen over the weekend! Too much FUN! And they included me in the "small people" group for instruction how to "ball up" so you can get the speed you need to get to the other side. Will I ever get used to that?

Well... You jog a million stairs on this tower about 60 feet in the air (watching your friends huff and puff while you're smiling :-)) and let a couple comedians strap you into a harness attached to a pulley on a cable. Then you jump off the tower and zip across the forest and land on the connected tower. Then you do it again and again until you reach the end of the park and pretty much free fall off the last tower sliding up the other side to finally rest in the middle where they come get you down with a ladder. It was Da Bes!

That is sooooo awesome! Zip lining is one of the things my son keeps asking me to do and I do not tell him its because I'm over the weight limit I just say that he has to be older to do it alone which is true. God I cannot wait until my life changes and I can go zip lining with my lil man. That will be a remarkable day!!

This is one of my goals as well....... I can't wait to live life! On track for November surgery

I just got back from Costa Rica n the 1st thing people ask is did you go zip lining??!! Costa Rica is known for having the best zip line thru the rain forest n all that but I was too embarrassed bc I was probably over the weight limit so I just lied n blamed it on the rain lol. But next yr definitely!
