Zip line

This past weekend we drove over to Deltona to spend the weekend with the family there. Aunt Diana had invited us over for the weekend, and to treat the kids to the zip line at the Sanford Zoo. I knew they would have a great time, but I had no idea that it was as extensive and amazing as it is. It's a maze of obstacles up in the treetops with zip lines included. It's all within the trees, and it's beautiful. Erin was pretty hesitant at first, and when she got to her first major zip line (the one that goes across the entire parking lot of the zoo) she cried for a few minutes before finally going for it. The complete course took five hours, and everyone was exhausted. They can't wait to go back again. Thank you, Aunt Diana!

Chance and Bren led the way through the entire course. This was about 20 feet up in the tree.

Erin at the first level, just about 8 feet up.
