Forest Adventure

WOW, this is old, lost in blogosphere, waiting patiently to be published...I think this was the first week of November!
Busy week/weeks...what's new?!!!
Photo's to edit, appointments to go to, kids to feed, flip flops to throw out (finally - RIP flip flops from 2001)!

Soup bowls to find...I made soup one rainy afternoon and was missing 3 out of my 4 soup bowls. Where did I find them? Well, 2 were used to store perla beads (Thanks, Loubie) and 1 was in the hamster cage as a "bath for them" Thanks, April. Don't worry, I used Palmolive, antibacterial.

We also had the Marine Corps Ball on lots of Thursday nights ago...always so exciting (not!)

Friday morning a quick photo shoot, then off to Forest Adventure - a zip line adventure park here in Okinawa. I don't know what possessed me to go here since I am scared of heights but it wasn't too bad since the top of the trees were right there, didn't feel too high...I survived it, with aching arms and a woodchip bum to prove it!
Albert went first of course...
Here I go!Coming in to land...do I looked scared of what?!!!Nearly walked into this thing...You're never far from a view like this in Okinawa...This was the scariest for me. You had to jump off and swing into the net in the next photo...Wherever we travel, we always have a photo of Albert and the guys we meet...I am wondering what the guy on the left uses that long pinkie nail for...?! Nose picking, perhaps? Oh and here's a video

TOO Fun!! Soooooooo want to go to that forest place! I might crap my pants though..Is it wrong to snag Em's pullups and slip my pants over them??

You might rip them though, like her tutu! LOL
That was exactly my thought too when I got there! It's actually not that scary though, I think because the trees are so high, you don't feel high, sort of...

My husband wants to go too, but I don't know if we will. Is it an all day thing? It looks like a blast, literally.

Those spiders must love you. Still have only seen just that one at the Haunted Hotel my whole time on the island.

Who wears flip flops that long? Don't ever show those to a podiatrist :-) Too funny!

You are so hot in the Marine Corps Ball photo. Look at all that cleavage. I really like that picture of the two of you..beautiful!

Your poor flip flops (sniff, sniff). I'm planning on surprising my hubby one day with a trip to Forest Adventure place. I think he would love to play at the big kid park, it looks so fun.

Hollie, we were there for about 2 hrs and then the travel back and forth (while kids were at school), so about 3.5 hrs in all. Def. go if you get the chance! Chill with the spiders!
Yeah, we won't mention the boobs...
!
Marisa: Yep, they are gone, my lovely flip flops :o(
and I still haven't found a replacement, good job it's gotten chilly!
