It's a bird, it's a plane, it's...Mommy?

Before we went to the beach we did a bit of sightseeing. Boy was it hot! We kept you two hydrated and you were good to go! Ms. Curtisha wanted to do something fun; something we would ordinarily do. We noticed the "Zip" attraction.

Now let Mommy tell you, being "zipped," as they call it, is definitely not something I would ordinarily do. But we were on vacation, Ms. Curtisha wanted to try it, and your daddy was convinced that I wouldn't do it.


Here I am--about to be zipped! Was I scared? Ummm...YES! I was fine walking up the long winding staircase to get to the top, but once I was all harnessed and out on the ledge I almost backed out! You see that ledge near the outside of the gate by the guy's hand? That's the ledge you had to walk out on until you were suspended in air! YIKES! Mommy felt like she was walking the plank! But, I looked down at your daddy and the two of you and...

I did it! I got "zipped" from one side of the wharf to the other!

Weeeee.......................

Here is Ms. Curtisha being "zipped!" She even managed to strike a pose as she was going across! LOL :)

I'm telling you guys this because I want you to know that sometimes it's okay to take a chance and try something new. I don't want you two to grow up and be controlled by fear. Trying something new can be a good thing. I want you to have common sense, of course. Just don't do any old thing! BUT, some risks are worth taking. I took a chance and did something new, and it was actually fun. I'm glad I did it. I was afraid at first, but I overcame that fear. Having said that, if I had been too afraid and backed out, that would have been OK too. I also want you to know that it's OK to be afraid sometimes. Sometimes you should be too afraid to do something. Follow your heart...and your gut. Life is beautiful! Live life, my dears, but be smart about it.
