Zip Lining

Chris's command decided to take people to go zip lining today.  I have always wanted to try it so we decided to go along.  The adventure started at Parco Avventura Etna http://www.parcoavventuraetna.it/index.htm (if you google the place you can get selected a translated version).  Chris doesn't like heights so he decided to hang out with Braydon in the children area. We received a briefing that told us how to work the course for our safety.  Then we headed to the green course, this course was considered to be of little difficulty, but it was difficult.  Then after that we went to the blue course.  This course was more challenging and it ended up that I needed to be rescued from the last part of it.  This last part was a little scary and I started to hyper ventilate.  I decided not to continue and do the last course which was purple because I thought it would be even harder.  Now looking back I wish I had done it because it was all zip lining and no little obstacles.  Braydon had a good time watching everyone and running around.  Although when we first got there he want to go look at the snow (because we where up so high on the volcano there was snow from the recent cold weather).  He tried to run down the hill and ended up falling face first on the pavement and got some road rash on his face.  He cried for a little bit, but was more concerned about Haleigh because she was with him when he fell and she thought it was her fault.  My little boy is such a caring person!  Here are some pictures from the adventure just click on the link below.
