Addicted to the Sky Trail!

Last week we were able to go to the Louisville Zoo with our neighbors. They were planning to do the Sky Trail High Adventure Course that day and wondered if Brandon and Bekah would like to do it also. When they were looking at the course trying to decide if they wanted to or not, Brandon decided that he did not want to, but Bekah thought she would like to try it. We decided to eat lunch first and let them think about it for a while. (They don't really like heights and we had to pay extra money for the course, and I didn't want to pay for them to do it unless they were SURE they were going to do it!) After lunch they both decided to try the course. Here they are getting ready to go up!




Once they got up there, they decided it was scarier than they thought it would be. Brandon was very brave and decided to try it (slowly!) anyway! I was able to be right below them and talk to them from the ground.

You can see from his face how he felt about it!

When Bekah got up the stairs, she was terrified and just started to cry! One of the staff members came to help her and walked with her for a while and showed her what to do.



Brandon got braver and braver the more he tried it!

Brandon said this was one of his favorite parts!

There's Liberty way up there! There were 2 levels on the course. Brandon and Bekah both preferred the bottom layer, but both were brave enough to try out the top course also!
You can see Bekah, Brandon and Jacob (above in the red) in this picture!

After staying with the staff member for a while, Bekah was able to do it on her own!

There's Josh!

There's Brandon, Bekah and Liberty!



You could stay on the course as long as you wanted to. They were up there at least an hour. They both decided that it was the funnest thing ever, and they can't wait to do it again! (Thus, the blog title which Bekah insisted I use!)

Here are all 5 kiddos at the zoo having a great time!

    Wow! What brave children you have :) I think it is so awesome that they both decided to do something even though they were afraid. It just shows how great God is, he can give us the strength to do anything.

    Way to go Brandon and Bekah!
