And now for something completely different. 😄 We spent the day at @treetotreeadventurepark playing on the ropes course and zip lines. One of the zip lines is nearly 1/4 mile long, and takes you through the tree canopies with views of the lake beyond. It was a great day, and I was pleasantly surprised to not really feel phased by the heights. You feel super secure with the harness, so there isn’t really a fear of falling. 10/10 highly recommend!!!
