Sky Hike!

On Friday, we headed to Stone Mountain with my mom, nephew, aunts, and cousins...and of course my own awesome family! We had the MOST beautiful day ever and it was perfect!! It was near 70 and not a cloud in the sky. We headed straight for the Sky Hike and while Jay and my sweet Aunt Martha stood in line (for an hour!!!) my mom, aunt and the kiddos headed to the playground right behind it that was SUPER fun! I will post photos from that next. But, I wanted to get right to all the AMAZING fun we had on this ropes course.

Now...I am not afraid of heights or ropes courses. But, seriously, I was really nervous the whole time! I wasn't afraid because I did it all and even did some of the harder elements. But, I was nervous most of the time. But, let me tell you...my nephew who is FIVE...totally rocked this thing out. Put me to shame!

The girls did awesome and totally rocked out too:) We had the best time! It took a while to complete and the top level was closed for renovations so the whole thing took us about 30 minutes which is a long time to keep your legs from collapsing:)

There are about a million photos below, so you might just want to stop now! But, my mom took so many good ones that I want them all in my blog book for this year. Also, please not that the below angle...and the tight harness...do not for flattering photos make:)

Here we are...up close

Here we are in perspecive...yes...those are large pine trees that we are in the midst of! We are on the second level at least 20 feel in the air...there is a third!

OK, it might look like Jay is going forward with his arms out. But, no. He is walking on a small plank 20 feet in the air BACKWARDS!! I was in shock!!!

This is my BABY girl on the second lever...with her arms out! I never could muster the nerve to do THAT! Go baby girl!

Anli is on the very top...so high that you can hardly see her. Mom gave us some perspective in this photo.

Here she is closer up.

OK, here is a photo of a crazy thing that happened. Jay wanted to on the harder side that my FIVE year old nephew wanted to do. Well, since he had been kind of going beside Julian...that left ME (nervous aunt!!) to go beside him. I mean it is pretty comical...if I wasn't a nervous WRECK!

Later Jay told me that he was only freaked out here (hadn't been freaked out all day) because I was freaking out...um...YEAH! I was trying to help him and keep myself from fall at the same time. But, mom's do whatever for little ones...right?

More to come...Sky Hike ROCKED! I loved it and our whole family would definitely go again. We will be going back really soon for SURE while the weather is so nice!
