Thrill Seekers



"Oh…what do you do in the summertime, when your kids are all away?  Do you find a quick ride?  Seek out a slide….and scream as you go by….Is that what you do?  So do I! "
We started out small and headed to the go cart track!  We went all out and did the “Pro Trak”  (Not so pro….I think our 8 year old could have handled that one…oh well..fun anyway!)   Later that evening when Clay and Laura were shopping and trying to figure out plans for the next day, they  heard the word “Zipline”  They both said “Sign me up!”  IT was so exhilarating!  We went to the zipline at Apache Ski Resort.  It is the second longest zipline in North America!  It was amazing.  Now, Clay has parasailed and skydived – so he wasn’t nervous at all..but Laura on the other hand had never done anything like this before – so she was a bit nervous!  But, as soon as she was strapped in and on her way, she was having a ball!  Poor Clay had to keep telling her to go faster – but honestly, Laura was just proud of herself for doing it and surviving!  We not only got a zipline ride, but we also got a gondola ride up the top of the mountain before sliding down…a 2 in 1 deal!  Yipee.  Going down that hill on a line was a thrill to say the least.  Holy Cow…what a rush!






 
 If you look at the guy coming down the zipline and go up the mountain, there is a small structure in the middle of the picture at the top of the mountain...(not the house) that is the platform we took off from and we are standing on the landing area at the bottom when we took the picture.  It was quite the ride!


It was a three part zipline ride.  The first was the longest, this was the second and shortest - but Laura's favorite.
