Last Saturday, we were invited to go with our friends Claire and Brian to a newly opened "ZipIt" zip line park.
We were there to celebrate Claire's 30th Birthday. It was an all-day affair, with different courses for different skill levels. We had a blast!
Each course was made up of numerous different obstacles. Each challenging in its own way.
They had an ingenious system to make sure once you clipped in at the start of each course, there was no way to be unclipped until the course was done. Safety first.
During one of the breaks, we took some time to celebrate the birthday - with lunch and cake! Unfortunately, a rain cloud decided to burst during our meal, so we took the party indoors (in our car), where we waited out the storm. Welcome to Ireland.
Claire was a natural daredevil. Rebekah was fearless. She even rode a bike on a small wooden bridge 40 feet in the air.
The Tarzan swing did not go quite so well. I lost a shoe, Rebekah had to literally tear her shorts apart in order to break free, and we both ended up with bruises and cuts after this one.
The day ended on a positive note, with Rebekah jumping off a platform and zipping her way back to earth. Look how small the people are on the ground! We had a wonderful time. It was a unique and exhilarating experience, with great company to round off the day.
