Parasailing









If you are wondering what it feels like to go parasailing - well, it doesn't really "feel" like much - they strap you into a harness, attach it to a parachute and then reel you out like a kite. Once you are at the end of the tether, you just sway gently in the wind and ponder, "What would happen if this rope breaks?" The view is, of course, incredible and it's fun to wave at the tiny people in their tiny toy boats. When your time is up, they reel you right back into the boat - easy peasy lemon squeezy. The scariest part for me was trying to take photos of Terry and still hold on to the deck railing when the captain gunned the boat, bronco style, over the waves!

Great pics, Lisa. You look really brave up there in the sky. By the way, how does #50 feel? Love you!

I still can't believe that you did this mom! It looks really fun. Paragliding off Baldy would be pretty fun too, huh? :)
