We started at 8:00 a.m. yesterday with a family reunion zipping. The first one to go was a grandson after my own heart! He was a bit older and not afraid so I asked him if he wanted to freak out his family. Of course, he did! With our new platform, if you jump on the launching pad, the whole platform rocks - and it rocks well! We jumped three times and got around thirty people to scream! Not bad . . .
After they left, it was time for "rescue practice on the high ropes". Yup, I was "on belay" and jumping like a maniac to get all 100 pounds of Nicole up and off the line. I don't know what I'm going to do for a "big boy", but I got the "hang" of it! Let's hope adrenaline kicks in . . .
After lunch, it was time to check the first aid kits. We were laughing as we read the expiration dates on some of the stuff - 2017 wasn't nearly as bad as 2013! Whoops! Time to get some new stuff . . .
Then we had the afternoon rush. It turns out that all the roads in the west metro are either under water or under construction - or so we've been told. People were late, people were lost, people were added, people were fun - and all of a sudden, it was 6:15! Never mind that I was off at 5:15. I got in the final zip with a mum and her two daughters who left a generous tip to make up for the day before . . . because good things only happen at Sand Creek!
