The Klimeks Meet BigFoot! {Alternately Titled: The Dells: Day One}

We took a end-of-summer vacation to Wisconsin Dells last weekend for a "last hurrah" before school started and we had to say goodbye to summer. Our mini-vacation started early Friday morning when we left the house bright and early to get to the Dells for our 11 am departure on the BigFoot Ziplines!

Jamie and the kids are all geared-up and ready to go! ~~~

Here is me and the kids--all harnessed up. I was scared to death and the rest of the family was excited and couldn't wait to hit the ziplines!

This is a map of the lines...

We did six lines and it took a total of about 3 hours. Through the trees, over water--it was breathtaking!

~~~
Abz had a blast riding the lines...

Andrew coming in fast to the end, where Peter, one of our tour guides, waits to "catch" him.

~~~
Austin had no fear flying over the water!

~~~
Jamie was the official photographer during our excursion. He had a blast watching everyone zoom down the lines! He also had fun on the lines himself--taking running jumps, falling off the tower backwards, and hanging from the line upside down!
(Which, by the way, we ALL did those "tricks"--yep! Even Abz and I!)

~~~
Here is Austin flipping upside down while on the line!

~~~
This is Andrew hanging upside down in mid-air!

(Clicking on the picture will enlarge it a bit--we couldn't bring our "good" camera on the lines, so we used our old digital and our camera phones...)

Abz hanging in the middle of nowhere!

The Klimie Kids on top of one of the towers...

~~~
And here is me--Shana--hanging over the water...

~~~
The last run was a dual run, so two people were able to race! Generally, the heavier of the two would win the race (physics, you know!), and our family proved that to be true...

Jamie and Abz race to the finish line...~~~
The Klimie Brothers race to the end...

We had a fun time flying through the sky as a family!
