A Few More Adventures

Naturally, Ryan and his group didn't just go whitewater rafting on their trip. They had a few other adventures along the way! Want a peek? The same day they they went rafting, they also did a bit of hiking. Ryan said this was the one part of the trip I really would have enjoyed. And based on the pictures {minus the one of the spider he thought it was important to immortalize???} I agree!

Gorgeous scenery out there!

...in the back, too!!

Wherrrrrrrrrre's Ryan?

Group picture! {Doesn't it kind of look like they're starting a band?}

If the rafting rapids had been more THIS speed, I could have handled it...

Taking a picture of Shawn...

...taking a picture of him...

And there was climbing. MUCH climbing.

He said it was a really fun afternoon! :)

The next morning, before they came home...

Why, yes! That IS ziplining stuff!!

It's true!! 10 lines and 5 bridges...makes my experience from our first birthday trip look pretty pathetic!!! OH! And they had to repel 35 feet back down to the ground after the last line. Oh. Sweet. Goodness.

And about the BRIDGES.....yeah.

As for the ziplining...the ones I did with him were accomplished by sort of running down a hill until you ran out of ground. These were TREETOP ziplines. I would have died.

 This one? Not so much. He thrived a bit.

 Shawn and Ryan...ziplining buddies.

 He said it was a blast...and I'm so glad he had fun!!

And one more look at those bridges...shiver.

After ziplining, they packed into the car and headed back home. I could tell they had a wonderful time, and I was so thankful. I was also so thankful he came home to me in one piece!!!
