Puerto Vallarta

This was our families favorite day of our trip. Jon used his negotiating skills so we could go ziplining. We traveled in a big white van with the Cheungs and our tour guide. Our tour guide was an older man who told us all about Mexico. It took us about 45 minutes to get to the place we ziplined at. We went through little towns and realized how blessed we were to live where we do. Britt looked terrified on the way knowing we were about to zipline.


Caleb looking a little nervous.











Brittany was feeling pretty confident after the first two ziplines. That was when she was told that those were the baby ones compared to the next 9 ones.

It was an amazing feeling being so high!

















We were told to do monkey faces...I think Landon won.











This is the part Brittany did not like....the hiking between the ziplines.



The guys that worked for the zipline were so much fun. They were cracking jokes the whole time.





Jon said I got stuck on purpose so that I could be rescued....















The last zipline they let us go upside down.



Jon hit his back on the bottom of the stream. Not so smart..lol





Then we got to ride the mules back to the top.

Mine was in the lead the whole way until Tony passed me at the end.







On the way back we stopped at a water hole and swam and got drinks at a little store. We then stopped by a fruit stand and got mangoes. Yum!

That was a day we will never forget!

What a seriously fun time you all seemed to have had! I'm going to have to look into that cruise the next time we get serious about doing one. Love all your pictures! So was anybody scared out of their mind when attached to the ropes and sliding down the rope from so high up?
