Tuesday Alyssa's group did the ropes course. Alyssa wasn't sure that she wanted to do it but she decided to go for it anyway. To begin you have to scale a log with hatches out of it at different point to place your feet. The trick is that you have to switch feet two or three times in order to reach the next place, while doing so you kind of have to hug the tree (which makes for a great picture by the way). Then you get up on the log and move over to the rock wall. Alyssa made it up the log and the rock wall. The girl in front of her was crying and screaming hysterically. Alyssa was nervous as it was and she just put her over the edge. She couldn't make herself get out on to the rope but she did a great job repelling down the wall . I was very proud of her.
On Thursday the adults in the family got there shot at the ropes course and after making that step out onto the rope myself and totally understand how hard it was for her. She did excellent. It was great fun watching all the adults hug trees and make the climb. It was a good challenge and I love repelling so that was fun to end the course with that.
