Ziplining for Father's Day

For Father's Day, I took my dad ziplining. Actually, he drove the 3 hours there AND the 3 hours back... but it was my idea and I paid for it.... does that count? Doesn't he look cute in his harness?


We went on a 4.5 hour tour of ziplines/ropes course - FUN!

Here I am ziping down the line! Amazing! We did at least 7 ziplines, maybe 8 or 9 - I lost count, including one a mile long! It was simply awesome!



Man, it was HOT and muggy. We were dripping most of the time! Here's Dad concentrating HARD to make it across this harrowing bridge...

I took this pic over the stream while we were crossing a slat/rope bridge. I know you can't see any of that but trust me.

Dad's last zip.

I told dad when we were done, "the question is WHEN we are coming back, not if." Loved it.

Wow. If those white helmets don't make me want to go zip lining, nothing will.
