So, we had a family rebellion, er, reunion, in Gatlinburg, and spent one evening at a place that had go-karts and thrill rides. They had the massive swing thingy where you have to lay in the harness, and they had a bungee jump. My DD, age 6, wanted to bungee jump SO BAD, but when I took her to sign up she didn't weigh enough.

So then my son, age 8, decided he wanted to try it. Since he's afraid of heights, I didn't think he would actually do it. It was kinda funny because instead of jumping he just slithered off the edge, but off he went! We had a group discount going on, and I decided I would probably never get another chance like this, so......

I BUNGEE JUMPED!!!

Scariest thing I've ever done on purpose. But now I can check that off my bucket list! DH took DD on the big swing thingy, and she loved that. It looked like a rougher drop than the bungee do I didn't want to try it - more of a jerk instead of a boooiiiiiinnnng.

Next on my list is skydiving. I really wanted to do that on this trip because one of our cousins is an Army Ranger and has done lots of drops. I was hoping he could tandem with me, but isn't certified yet. I found a place about 30 miles from home that is called a skydiving ranch, and I'm plotting to go there soon. DH is not enthused so I may have to be sneaky.
