This year for Christmas we got out kids something they have been asking for since we moved to this house nearly 6 years ago!! Needless to say they were thrilled and were fine with the fact that when they opened it up for Christmas this year that we told them this was their birthday gift for this year as well:).
A Zip Line!!
This was at the beginning stage when the zip line was up but the proper zip line platform was incomplete. Nick giving it a go and trying it out. The zip line is 180 ft long.
Notice the ladder that was just propped up against the tree house so we could stand on the roof.
 |
| Elijah took his turn |
 |
| Caden took a turn |
 |
| Even Ellie took a turn |
And then the platform was complete by Elijah's family birthday party and this allowed anyone who wanted to to feel somewhat "safe" and have a ride.
 |
| This is my Grandpa Gutwein doing it. |
You will notice my grandpa isn't wearing a safety harness. We didn't make the adults wear one if they didn't want to, however it is MANDATORY that any child who rides this zip line MUST wear a harness!!
 |
| My dad even did the zip line. |
 |
| And to top it off my mother did it as well. She didn't climb the ladder but rather we pulled her up by a rope to the top and then let her "go". |
Thanks to Nick for building such a nice platform. Anyone who wants a ride.....give us a call. :)

Awesome! Looks like fun, can't wait to try it! That must be tall if you are standing on top of the tree house. it makes me even more impressed that Jayla did it. I wonder if she would do it again if I was there:)
And I can't believe you have a teenager too! And the fact that you have been in fville for almost 6 years! Now that's crazy!
Yep....August 9th will be 6 years!!
