I didn't have a blog yet when we went to Salt Lake in October
of 2008. We went for Sophie's blessing. Donna, Laif, Kent,
Debbie, Erik and I all went. We spent the weekend. The weather
was absolutely gorgeous. It was very warm, which I love.
Jennie took us to Olympic Park. I think almost everyone knows
that I was crazy enough to go on the Zip Line. (I am one that
panics on the third rung of a ladder). I was really terrified when
I was up against the gate and I started to panic but before I
knew it, someone pushed me through the gate and there I was
sailing through the air. I went up with Debbie the first time.
Yes, I said the first time. I was terrified and I kept my eyes
closed most of the way. When I opened my eyes I could not
believe how beautiful the scenery was. After I rested a bit, I
decided that I wanted to go up again. I went with Donna the
second time. This time I kept my eyes open and almost forgot
that I was dangling in the air. It is breathtaking to see the
mountains and the scenery around there.
That weekend turned out to be one of the nicest weekends
I have ever had. I am so lucky to have family that will go to
the trouble to take me places.
In the picture, Donna and I are in the Ski Lift going up to the
top and the other picture shows how far down it is from the
top.
I saw your face when you were up against that gate the first time. I thought you were going to lose it! I am glad that you enjoyed yourself so much, it was a really nice visit for us too.
ReplyDeleteI did have a great time. I hope to come again when the weather is warm. The pictures of Sophie are so adorable. Now her first tooth. How exciting.
