When we were white water rafting, we shared a raft with some neat people! They told us about Big Mountain in Whitefish that was a ski resort, but had summer activities as well. They had went zip lining, and done a ropes course up on the mountain. So the kids, now that they’ve had a taste of adrenaline, couldn’t wait to go.
The first day, we signed the kiddo’s up for a ropes course up in the trees. It was the coolest thing. After getting the shpiel on how to work the harnesses and clips, they were sent off to climb. Our #3, who a few weeks previous, had a conniption at his sister mentioning zip lining, was the first to climb the platform and step off onto the first obstacle. My plan for him to be in between the other 2 kids in case he needed help went out the window. It was amazing. My kid who was scared just talking about zip lining was tackling these obstacles high up in the trees like a pro.
They all did amazing and I totally chickened out. The next day, the kids and I went back for zip lining. That’s more my style. Flying down a mountain and not really having time to think about it…ha ha.
Once again, the kids did amazing! No hesitation and #3 wanting to go first. We may have created a monster. Not really. But I think we totally found our “thing.” We can’t wait to find more zip lines as we continue our travels.
~Enjoy the journey!
