Florida Vacation July 2008


Ok, this is not the best picture in the world of us due to the fact we were having some camera issues. This is the most recent picture of our family. We stayed in Florida for a week and my son and daughter got to bring a friend along. They went Banana boating and para sailing and on some sling shot ride. Of course, I just wanted them to stay on the ground as much as possible. I am a little over protective of them. You know you hear all those horror stories about kids getting hurt and you just want to wrap yours in bubble wrap even if they are teenagers. I asked my daughter how high do you go up and she said " oh, the rope is about 100 to 200 feet long and I said What!" Well, while they were up in the air I was asking the lady who runs the para sailing booth how high they would go or just how long was that rope and she said, just 1200 feet long and they go up about 500 feet. Yes, I just about had a heart attack. She said we give them a better ride then the 100 feet. I said"Thanks!"
