Congo Trail Canopy Tour

So this is post one of many... I was going to do the never-ending blog post but guess I'll have to do it in stages...



Yes... even Jack is going to go on the zip line tour --- they ensured me that it was safe... "professionals..." this guy said with a smile...

Now we are ready!!!

Giovanni and Donal were our guides.  Very nice young guys --- so helpful and careful with the kids and willing to help Jack and the girls...
When we first started out, Jack went with one of the guides and Ella also went with one of the guides.
Here's Meggie --- no fear!
 Granma Sandy and Granpa Wayne also joined in the fun ---

 And of course, me... I had so much fun!

After the first couple of lines, the guides started mixing it up - either letting Jack and Ella ride together ...or...  

... did you hear what Giovanni said there toward the end of that video???  "On this next cable, we will do Jack alone..."
The funny part of this is that Dave and I both thought that he said he would send Jack with Dave... until Jack is floating down the line ALONE!!!!  He looked so tiny as he faded away into the trees...
On a different note in that video, Jack is saying "WHISKEY!"  That's what they saw here instead of "cheese" -- it has helped a little bit with the 'problem' of the cheesey grin...
Oh - and if you look closely, you can see howler monkeys in the trees right there.
