It's a Team's Life

Ziplining, Fun Day

This is an explanation of what ziplining consists of taken from their home page:

What is ziplining?

Ziplining is a thrilling outdoor activity during which a rider wears a harness that is securely connected, via carabiner and pulley system, to a cable suspended high above the ground. The rider then glides along the cable for a uniquely exhilarating experience.

There are four zipline’s we will get to try out that will go over the river in the area and also the tree canopy.   This area of Missouri is very pretty with lots of history and plenty of caves to tour.   We plan on making a morning of this and then heading back into Saint Louis to try our hand at go karts.

We will be going to the St. Louis Mills mall which features a NASCAR Speed Park and has an indoor and outdoor track to play on.   Another neat feature of this mall is the iceZone which is the official practice rink for the St. Louis Blues Hockey team.   I feel as if this is great use of mall space.

 

After this full day we will be heading back to the house for one of our favorite unhealthy meals, Frito Pie. I brought this recipe with me from Arizona and it is not your normal Frito Pie.   I will add the basics to this recipe at the bottom of blog.   After dinner the cards will come out and we will spend the rest of the evening playing pitch and possible a little pinochle.
