Rope Swings!!!

This was the first summer that the girls tried the rope swing at the Frio. Honestly, I wasn't sure that they were going to be able to really do it. Adilyn got it the first time, and she did it perfectly. She even went up there during a time were there were only teenage boys there! The first couple of times that Kacy went, she was a little nervous and held on too long. After a few times, they were both pros. It's a little bit of a pain for me because I have to help them get the rope if they don't catch it, and I have to hold on to a tree or something so I won't float away. So, I am always trying to hurry them up. This last trip, I decided that I was going to let them go and go and go until they were tired. I had no idea that they would last that long! It was crazy - they probably went 15 or 20 times each! Two groups of kids came and went, and they just stayed and kept jumping. Finally, it started to rain, so we left. I think they would have stayed forever! Brooke even got to go this time. The first time, she held on to my back, but the second time she did it herself. Great job, girls!
