Up in the air

Last weekend I took the boys to use a voucher they had for Christmas for a high ropes course. I've secretly been dying to try it myself, it's at a park we often go to and everytime I saw it I really wanted to go on! 

Well this time I did, me, Squashy, his friend Cal, Momo and his friend Tpants all went up. Unfortunately it was a bit too much for Momo and he decided to go back down and watch with Daddy. But I really enjoyed it. It was a bit scary in places, there's a few obstacles without a lot to hold on to! But i enjoyed it a lot. I was really looking forward to the zip wire. But before that I had the 'aerial power fan' to do. It was a jump off a three storey hight tower, attached to a harness of course. You walk up to the edge and it's pretty scary, just a straight drop down. And it was SO windy up there, I made the guy attach the kids to the tails as I worried they would blow away! I almost chickened out (probably should have!) but the guy said 'just look at the trees ahead and then step off' so I went went for it! The drop was much quicker than I expected and I totally misjudge my landing and bent my leg all funny. I was worried I wouldn't get up it hurt so much but I was too embarrassed to tell them! So I tried to just style it out and hobbled off. Needless to say I didn't get to do the zip wire :( 

Over night it got worse and swelled up so I popped to get it checked out. It's just some ligament damage, thank fully nothing serious, but I am looking at a week resting it. Oh well, at least it was fun up until then!
