Write Up:
We had spectacular weather for this event, so we got lucky given the fact that we had such bad weather recently! It was fun getting up in that tree using our guides well taught technique. And with the new spring buds on the tree, getting high up in that tree was a blast, especially when the nice wind began rocking those large sturdy braches. Well, one of us thought the wind was a little too strong causing just a bit of motion sickness, but I won't mention any names and we'll just keep that our a little secret.

We had a nice little side show, as first Karen was swinging and giggling as Hank really got her going, and then Suzanna showed us how to swing upside down with some skills she acquired at the sky gym using Aerial Silk. Hey, I'm serious look it up! It was fun watching her do that, and my pictures prove it!

Thanks everyone, you're a great group of people.
