Going Ape

This weekend we went to a rather unique celebration of our friend Kiersten's 40th birthday.  There is a place in Rockville, Maryland called Go Ape.  We'd never heard of it before and were game to give it a try.  We spent at least two hours in the tree tops going through different rope obstacles.  It made us feel like kids again!

Here's Lincoln . . . .

And me with my visiting teaching companion and her husband . . . . I know this doesn't look like we are up in the trees, but we were!!!

The caribiner safety clip-ins gave me courage!

This was the worst for me . . . . .climbing the ladders . . . . .

Lincoln on the "Tarzan Swing" which was most definitely the hardest one to make yourself do . . .

The birthday girl . . . . Thanks Kiersten for letting us share your day with you!  We all wore a little purple her honor . . . .


McKay would LOVE this!

The rope ladders were my least favorite too! Until Duane started helping me up them by pulling down on the rope that we were hooked to. The first time he almost gave me a wedgie but after that I knew what to expect when I felt myself being pulled up the ladder. I should have just let go and made him haul me all the way up them!

I'm glad that was you and not me. Looks like you had a fun time.

I'm so glad you guys came! I had such a great time...probably my most favorite birthday party ever :)
...yeah, the rope ladders were not my favorite, at all!!
I can't wait to go back and take Noah and Dallin (and Mike, of course)
