Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah

A few weeks ago John and Wendy came to visit on their way to BYU. As they have been here before we wanted to make sure we came up with new and fun things to do. Luckily we were able to take time off from work and spend more time with them this time around. One of my favorite things we did was taking a zipline tour through the Texas Hill Country. The tour company, Cypress Valley Canopy Tours, has an eco-friendly approach to the tour, our guide Iker told us about the trees and wildlife as we went from platform to platform.






John walking one of the bridges between platforms. Clay tried running accross one with his eyes closed and no hands. I think there might still be a bruise.





Here we are on one of the six zip lines. The harnesses are very flattering. While on the ground we were given a little practice run on braking and landing on the platforms. Suprisingly I never ran into any trees.





We spend a lot of time doing things in the city so we really loved taking a break to be in the trees. It was beautiful! Clay and I want to go back and spend the night in their Lofthaven, a little treehouse for two.
