Living la vida Pinedale!

Saturday afternoon at the cabin we were still looking for some excitement. So we all piled into the rhino, and Court took us site seeing around Pinedale. Wow---what sites! We drove out of town torwards what feels like the rim. ANd then we drove to the opposite end of town and drove up to Juniper Ridge lookout tower. Even though we couldn't climb to the top it was still a pretty cool view. It was an insanely bumpy and FREEZING ride, but Waverly was so bundled that she managed to sleep through most of the trip. Before the ride we started out at the zip line nearby. It was near impossible to shoot the camera and catch a child before they got thrown off by the whiplash at the end. But Delainee and her freakishly strong monkey bar arms held on, no problem. A moth could send that child into tears, but she definitely is a thrill seeker!

When it came time for Laetner I could see that his grip was not near as strong. Court said he would be fine, but the whiplash at the end proved to be too much of a jolt and it really scared the crap out of him. My whimpy self actually tried the zip line, but I kept having horrible flashbacks of our senior girls trip when Eda (Porter)Clarkson swore I WOULD NOT hit a particular tree and then swung me into said tree so hard that I broke the middle toe on my right foot. If you have ever seen my freak right foot you can easily observe the shortness of that middle toe compared to its neighboring companions. But I digress. While I indeed did ATTEMPT the zip line, it was a pretty pathetic showing. While Court kept giving Delainee turns, Laetner sat down to have a heart to heart with Wavee. The poor thing had missed her morning nap, and we had yet started on her bumpy ride nap, so she was pretty exhausted--and you can see it!

I love how he actually bends down into her face, because he felt like she wasn't giving him her undivided attention.

She kinda looks like an EWOK!

Yamma hamma---that is one tired, little EWOK!
