Treehouse Day 2

At the Treesort one of the activities you can participate in is zip-lining. Cayden, my mom, and I decided to take the "plunge" and sign up for a beginners course. My mom is sort of on this bucket list check list. She is signing up for every activity she can. For those of you who know what happened maybe we should have sat this one out.

Here we are with our gear on.

Here is Cayden getting directions from the instructor.

The first zip. It started way up in the trees and ended nice and close to the ground. I don't think I was breathing the whole way down.

Fortunately, we all had a great time. Unfortunately, my mom's experience led to ankle/foot surgery. She was enjoying "flying" through the trees so much that she forgot to put on the breaks therefore using the bottom of her foot to stop at the next platform. She finished zip lining and was a trooper through the rest of the vacation. Her ankle was swollen and she slept in the car on Day 2 so that she wouldn't have to do the stairs. I bet she doesn't have any regrets though...

Cayden and I liked it well enough. At the end of the beginner route they ask if you want to sign up for the next level. Both of us were shaking our head "no thank you".

Treehouse Trip Day 1

This summer we had some great vacation experiences. I love teaching and I love it even more because of the 3 months I get to spend with my family doing AWESOME things. In Oregon there is a Treehouse resort (known as the Treesort). We made reservations the November before and finally in August we got to go! My mom travelled with us to Southern Oregon and here is where we stayed for two nights.

The Serendipitree

Many of the treehouses were accessible by bridges like this!

Me on the bridge. Can you tell I'm shaking. The boys were so intrigued by my fright they thought it was fun to shake the bridge.

Bryce and Cayden. NO FEAR.

Stay tuned for Day 2!
