Zip Zip Zip!!

Our neighbor, Jason, decided to install a zipline in their backyard ... yep, a real zipline. 

First step .. putting in the poles:  Steve and another neighbor, Tappin, helped Jason dig the holes for the poles...



One hole on each side of the yard, each of them about 4 feet deep.  

Jessica enjoyed watching ... from a high point in the tree. 

Then she enjoyed a view from the other perspective, down in the hole. 
 

The poles were cemented in, and then Jason built a platform on top of their swingset and expanded the roof on the swingset and built a platform on top of the monkey bars (later a rail was added too).  Now its time to zip ... all the girls went for a ride.

Even Steve went for a ride ... (I actually did too - I tested it out before he got the platform built a few nights before ... it was dark out and no camera was around!  Quite a ride!). 

The girls love to zip.  Its been lots of fun for them.
