Fall Fun

Wylie Rogers is playing goalie for the KillerBees in Texas. His parents are the ones who went Zipping with us in the earlier post. I think they are headed down to Texas to watch him play and then on to Florida. We are having fun watching Wylie live out his dream.

Zipping

Zip, Zip, Hurray!

We found a new fun activity that is practically in our backyard. Actually it is in Horseshoe Bend about thirty minutes away. Jim's sister Judy and her husband Billy are traveling through on their annual trip from Fairbanks to Naples, Florida. We've been doing something outdoors with them everyday but I think this will be the most memorable. This is the first year for the owner of Zipline and he has had over two thousand customers so far this year. First they take you on a scenic ride up the mountains and then teach you how to put on the equipment. The first few zip lines are short and fast. By the time you get to the longer zip lines you feel comfortable enough to relax and enjoy the ride. The last zip line is called "Double Trouble" where you can race each other. Gavin and Jim raced with Gav starting out in the lead only to be overtaken by his heavier, I mean faster Dad.
