In the school holidays my OH was on a mission to build a zip line for the kids..before you go thinking that it was a small affair..think again. When Daddy is a climber and an outdoor education teacher you are going to get a good zip line…a high zip line..and a fast zip line.
and mama is going to pick up a few extra grey hairs to add to her collection. There is a video that he took when one of our girls set off from the top at the bottom of the post. If it works!!
Suffice to say that my children have all been born with a bit of an adrenaline junkie heart, none more so than my 2 year old who thankfully is too small to use the harnesses. We had quite a lot of people stop to watch and ask me where he had got all the stuff from. They look a bit weirded out when i said ‘its all his own stuff” Which may not fill you with confidence i suppose but like my OH always says he trusts his equipment, he knows its capabilities and it is looked after properly..and in turn my kids all trust him. When Daddy says throw yourself of the side of a quarry..then he is going to make sure its safe!
there was a controlled fire being set up for some of the gorse bushes. I think the boys pretty much took over
and guess who had the best seat in the house!
The pictures are fantastic Sarah, how much fun does that look. Even me, who is afraid of heights would have loved a go on that. The video didn’t work for me (but it could be my laptop)
Good luck for the BiBs too, I’m rooting for you 🙂
I love this, it really reminds me of the one we did back in February. They are such a hit with the kids, as you say they just can’t resist a little adrenalin to spice up their fun. Well done to Dad, looks like he did a wonderful job making it nice and safe and well done you on capturing the moment so beautifully as always. A great Country Kids post.
I love it! Can I include the post in the Britmums round up?
Fabulous photos! Lucky kids having a zipwire, looks great fun xxx.
Awesome! I love the chorus of ‘me next’s at the end of the video. Gorgeous photos too.
