Last month we took a trip to North Carolina to visit my Aunt and Uncle in their mountain cabin. We had a great time just hanging out, eating at every BBQ joint in town and on our Zip-line adventure.
This was Clementine's favorite part of the trip. All she wanted to do was ride the "Ba boom boom boom" as Clemie calls it. We stayed at a separate cabin just up the road and she has a blast going back and forth.
If you know me, you know that i'm pretty much the ultimate woosie. I hate roller coasters and even going over a hill in the car too fast takes my breath away. We saw some huge billboards along the road for a zip-line tour, so I thought it would be a great idea to conquer one of my fears and suggested we go. I did get pretty feakin nervous, but once we got going I had a great time. Down the first line I was so scared and screamed so loud that I actually scared one of the women on the tour and so she turned around and went back down. Oops! The best part about it was that Clementine got to go too. She and Brent were zipping buddies and she loved every moment of it. Unlike me, she is pretty much fearless.

Me doing an awesome job taking a picture. At least I got the most important person in the frame.

Look at you, conquering your fear while creating fear in others. I actually could hear your scream in my head as I was reading that post. Miss you.
FUN!!! I would love to do that!
Glad you had fun and conquered your fear, at least until next time. I can only imagine your scream at the start and scaring off every other visitor there. You and your voice are one-of-a-kind! :) That's awesome that Clemie could go too.
This is too funny! Me and a couple of my friends are sending our husband's on a 'boys' weekend' next weekend and we arranged for them to go zip-lining, lol! (I'm assuming it's the same place.) Anyway, it would have been fun to see you guys! Did you get anywhere near the Charlotte area?! Next time you come out let us know! We'd love to see you - even if you're a couple of hours away we could meet you somewhere. :) I can't believe your girls are growing up so quickly! And they are so adorable! :)
