Our fantastic realtor, Daryl Loewen, recommended that we stay in this quaint town of Williams, AZ on our way back to Vegas. It is just down the road from the grand canyon. So, we did just that! It was a neat little town, with fun shops, cafes, street shows, etc. As we walked to the restaurant for dinner, the kids saw a zipline that went the length a few blocks of the town right over us. We all stood and watched it for a few minutes. The kids voiced that they thought it would be fun! Well, after dinner, it was dark, but the kids wanted a closer look of the zip line. So we went over to take a look. Well, it was reasonably priced (and Laura got to ride free...Mom's ride free..how about that!) So we asked the kids if they REALLY wanted to ride it, if we bought the tickets, they were going.. no backing out. The boys ho hummed about it, not sure, but Aparri was a full on YES, and very adamant about it. " I want to go... I want to go...I want to go. " (Laura thought for sure, she would be in tears by the time it was over)...but after seeing Aparri's enthusiasm, the boys agreed to go too. So off we went to ride the zipline! Aparri and Laura went first. The zip up to the highest point was fun, and Aparri was lovin' every minute. When they got to the highest point, the ride held them there. Laura started to get uneasy, not feeling very secure, and just wanted to get down...when she turned to see how Aparri was holding up - expecting to see a scared little girl.. However, to Laura's shock, Aparri was smiling ear to ear, head cocked back yelling, THIS IS AWESOME!!! THIS IS AWESOME!! Laura couldn't believe what she was seeing, her little 3 year old girl was doing better than she was! As they sped back down the line, Aparri continued to love it to the end and wanted to go again! The boys also enjoyed the ride, but didn't express the same zeal and bravery that our little woman displayed! Go Aparri, show up those boys!
