Only at Sand Creek - on a Sunday!

It is rare that we do not have fun at Sand Creek . . .

Today started off a bit scary with one staff not showing up and another cancelling at the last minute.  That left Ethan and I, but we were up for the challenge.  We had his gecko cheering us on!

Enter Maverick, age eight.  We taught him and his mother, Megan, how to buddy zip.  They had a blast, along with the other six people in their group.

Our 3:00 p.m. group all arrived early and we started their zip early because weather radar showed that rain was coming.  Sure enough, it hit solidly on Platform Three.  Not a soul complained.  We were all laughing and having fun.

I was the first one to the top of the hill and two ladies were waiting there.

"We have a 4:00 zip."

"You must be our 4:30 zip."

"Well, maybe it's 4:15.  But it's pouring rain and we're not going."

"That's fine.  You can reschedule."

"Well, let's do it."

"I'm not the scheduler."

"Well, who is?"

Ms. Rude and Impolite (I was mentally using a word that rhymed with hitch and ditch) continued to berate us and shower us with negativity.  Like we controlled the weather?!?  She's needs to meet the Man who does!  During her rant which included Ethan, I and the owner, I noticed she was NOT wearing the proper shoes for zipping.  

I smiled and said, "You couldn't have zipped today anyway.  You need to wear close toed shoes."  Sorry, friends, but it felt good and it shut her up for just a few seconds.
