Zipline and Ropes Course

We found a groupon for a zip-line/ropes course in Grand Rapids, Michigan.  It sounded like the perfect adventure for our crazy group.

 A huge perk of this location was that they had a junior section for 4-6 year olds.  I was so excited that William and Jack would be able to participate too.

 At first Jack wasn't so sure.  He listened to the instructions and watched William give it a try.

 But when his turn came he needed some coaxing.  The trainer had him sit on his bottom and scoot to the edge.  Eventually he scooted a bit too far and he was off.  It was love at first zip and he didn't slow down for the next three hours!

 

 William had no fear at all.  He was super careful about making sure he was hooked on appropriately and he was great about checking with me to see if he could go.

 Then there was Max.  He was a natural.  Brian said he did a great job of focusing and listening during the instructional time.  He was ready once it was time to hit the ropes!

 

Max did easy course without breaking a sweat.  He was so proud of himself!  I was so proud of him too!

 Max and grandma tackled the meduim course togheter and then he even went off on his own to do the harder medium course.

Brian didn't do to shabby out there either. 

One of hte things I love about vacation in trying out things that you can't do at home.  This fit the bill!  Everyone had a great time too!  The little red thing on the line is called a zippy.  Jack fell in love with his zippy.  The next day we were going to the beach and he sobbed because he didn't want to go to the beach - he wanted to go see his zippy!
