Rope Swing


Jacob and I went with Abbie and Jeremy to a pond in Mona with a big rope swing. The weather was a bit gloomy and windy, but we still went because we were told the water was really warm. Well, the water wasn't really that warm. We shivered and froze every time we came out of the water. It was still really fun. Jacob and Jeremy were the bravest and would go off the highest parts. You can see how high Jacob got in this picture. Abbie and I weren't so brave and just stuck to the lower parts. Well I think I would have been braver if I could have holden on to the rope! I don't know if it was because I had worked the night before and hadn't gotten much sleep, or if I'm just too heavy for my own little muscles, but I could not hold on to the rope long enough! I could just feel the rope slipping out of my hands. It was actually really frustrating.

When I tried from a lower stump, I did fine. So I decided to try again from the higher branch. Well, I was able to hold on to the rope this time, but still managed to land right on my face again! Everyone got a kick out of that. I ended up being the entertainment for the day. I'm glad we went. It was really fun. I'm going to have to work my arms out a lot more before we go again. Or just learn to be more coordinated. :)
