Yesterday, I took The Girl Who Thinks She’s a Bird and Monkey Boy to try out the new zip line course, “Zip Wild” at Northwest Trek.  The Girl is afraid of heights, and I thought this would be a great way to overcome them.

I don’t know about you, but I think dangling form 60 feet in the air is pretty sweet.  I mean, you’ve got a safety harness on for Pete’s sake, how dangerous can it be?

This was the third time I had done a zip line, but it was the first time the kids had done one. Monkey Boy was pretty pumped about it, but The Girl was a little more apprehensive.

The original plan was to have Monkey Boy wear the Go Pro Cam but in the end I got stuck with wore it.  Which is pretty rad because you can’t exactly wear a head cam AND glasses at the same time.  So I quickly had to decide between glasses or Go Pro.

Here is a totally boring video.

The whole course took about 1 hour to complete, and the kids and I had a blast.  No one fell, threw up, or broke any bones.  I’d say it was a succes, wouldn’t you?

Oh, and I almost forgot.  We also saw a pair of bald eagles.

And a wild monkey too.

Peace Out Girl Scouts. Life is short. So get out there and have some fun!
