Flying Squirrel

We went to Camp Lavida this weekend for a fall retreat with the Winthrop BSU or BCM (which ever one you want to call it). Phud was their speaker for the weekend. Jaycie decided that she wanted to do the "flying squirrel" swing. She did it twice. The first time she only let them pull her up until Phud's hand was at her knee and the second time she was brave and let them pull her even higher up. For those of you who are not familiar with the squirrel swing you can look at the pictures but basically you put a harness on and then they hook something to the back of it that pulls you up very high in the air and then someone pulls you loose and you drop and swing back and forth. Jaycie loved it. Charis did not want to take part in it at all!!! She is afraid of heights. She actually was going to do it until SMAP went before her and he screamed and she quickly changed her mind!

Here's Jaycie getting suited up for her flying adventure...

She's ready to go!!


Here she is all hooked up and getting ready to climb the ladder to get the final rope attached. I love this picture of her and daddy walking to the rope...
This is when they were pulling her up. Most people go to the very top of the pole but she went up until Phud could barely touch the tip of her shoe.

And here is the happy squirrel at the end.......... She loved it!
