Blue Monday

It's time for another exciting Blue Monday with Sally and friends. They have all gathered at

http://smilingsally.blogspot.com

Recently, I attend an arts and craft show. They had several things for the children to enjoy. This is one of them. You climbed the blue ladder to the top and went down the other side on a wire.

The man in the yellow jacket is the operator. Two children decided they would try it.

Here they were being told what to do and expect. Getting all geared up for the ride. However, one of the girls chickened out.

And, here she goes. Click on the photo for a better shot of her hanging on to just a thin wire.

I goofed up with Mr. Linky and had to TRY to correct my error. That's why we had such a clumsy start.

Happy Blue Monday!; September 9, 2013 at 12:28 AM

Adam said...: I only had one chance to zipline and chickened out. I was 12, and it was over a river and it was a pretty large gap of distance.

Plus some of the kids were allowed to jump off and dive, which made the fear worse.; September 9, 2013 at 11:16 AM

My name is Riet said...: Thank you for your kind words on my blog LV. They were just what I needed.
I think I would not dare go on that rope too.
Have a nice week; September 9, 2013 at 2:29 PM
Michelle said...: There's a zipline at the pumpkin patch we take the kids to. They think it's the absolute best thing ever -- as I stand watching, praying that the younger two will hold on tightly enough!; September 9, 2013 at 2:32 PM
Karen at Kaleidoscope Cottage said...: oooh! that's a long one and so high!
I like to encourage bravery in my granddaughter, but I'm not sure about that one....; September 9, 2013 at 4:54 PM
Hannah said...: Kids are usually braver than adults? I used to swing on a trapeze over a stream as a kid, though one time I started out with bent elbows and straightening them made me fall, it was shallow and pebbly. But OK. But as an adult I don't desire to do zip lines, unless maybe they had a seat to sit on. But they're kind of like a ski lift in challenge.; September 9, 2013 at 4:56 PM
jeanne, backyard neighbor said...: Hello LV, I think I might chicken out too. HA! It does look like a fun thing to do if you are brave. Nice that it was our favorite color blue.

It has cooled off so much here in the mountains at night. The days are in the 70's or low 80's. We are also seeing a bit of color. My favorite time of the year has always been Fall.

Sallie (FullTime-Life) said...: I'd probably have been the chicken-out girl when I was that age. Now I might try it!; September 9, 2013 at 5:05 PM

Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoriti said...: Good photos, LV! I would be afraid to go flying on that wire. That was a brave girl who did!; September 10, 2013 at 1:43 AM
