Zip Line!!

 It was a GREAT day!!!  We had the most fun ever... BUT there was one platform we went to and off of, that was just about a little much, 45 feet in the air and you just had to step off it, into space  :(  But we all accomplished the task!  It was the third/fourth one we did,  had two to practice up on first...
Patti (the one in the purple top) is scared of heights and she was NOT in her comfort zone, BUT she did it anyway, did not even hesitate that she wanted to go!!  Have to hand it to her, that takes a certain amount of courage :) !!!

 Then we went to Panera's and i had the poppyseed, chicken, strawberry half salad, it was great!!!
If we can ever figure out how to download the video to one another, i will have one of me doing a line, it was great fun. Lots of laughing, giggling and downright yelling went on!!!
It was a sunny day in Eastern Iowa!!!
Take Care All & God Bless, may you all have many adventures!!!  We sure did today!!!
Oh and would recommend Sky Tours in Dubuque, Iowa anytime, they were great guys and we did 7 zip lines!!!  I found it by googling zip lines in Iowa.............

  1. Oh I envy you! I paid my money... got strapped in... stood on the platform... and chickened out! Didn't even get a refund... sat in the bar and drank a margarita while everyone else zipped through the forest. You look like you had a ball! Maybe for me another time....

  4. Now I would have enjoyed that, but it sure is hard to take the first step! It looks like you are a mere shadow of your former self. Good for you! :)

  9. Do you also bungee jump? We might consider zip lines, but would draw the line at the bungee stuff! The salad looked great. We'll have to get a Panera's here in SE Arizona!

  11. Wow Loree you've sure got one up on me. I'm not sure I'd have the courage to trust some line 45' above the ground. But I am thrilled for you that you got to do something that just a year ago you could not have done. You are definitely looking great and so does that salad.

  12. It wouldn't be the starting for me, it would be the stopping. Every since I broke my ankle I am such a coward about anything that might involve twisting it. But if I could figure out a safe way to stop, I would definitely consider zipline. You look wonderful.

  13. Good for you, Loree!!!! I guess I might reconsider zip lining. I hate heights...and 45 feet and then stepping off into thin air, not sure I could go through with it.

    What other things are on your 'bucket' list to try??
