Bucket List Item # - Zip Lining

It has been a LONG time since I have checked an item off of my bucket list. Too long. Happily while on vacation in Utah I was able to complete one: 

Zip Lining! 

Most zip lining courses have age and weight requirements that exclude Jackson and Sadie from participating. But I was able to find one up Provo Canyon (Max Zipline) that has no age requirement and you only have to be 35 lbs!

All properly suited up:








They drive you up the mountain in one of these vehicles. The really cool thing about it is that there are no rules! Meaning that the kids and I were able to stand up and ride in the back all of the way up the mountain (Eric sat in the front with the driver. Sad for him). It was awesome!





At the top of the mountain, with Mount Timpanogos behind us:





Sade was so much fun to watch. She had no fear (at least not any she would admit to). She's so itty-bitty she had to be lifted onto the zip-line each time.



And she's off:




You have to be able to break yourself when you get to the end of the line and she was a pro right from the start.






Tricks:



Jackson:







Megan:








Eric:




Apparently on the last and longest zip-line Eric did some amazing trick where he went upside down, but we all missed it as we were admiring the Provo river. Whoops! Sorry Eric.

And me:

This was a blast. We all loved it, and would do it again in a heartbeat.
