Yesterday was a blast because my family and I went zip lining at Aerial Trek! My mom took pictures and my dad, brother and I zip lined through the jungle. This was my second time zip lining in my whole life. It was kind of scary and nerve wracking at the same time. We were gone for about 45 minutes. We also had to wear a lot of gear. We had to wear a harness, helmet and special gloves. Our right hand had to have a special pad on it to help us brake on the wire. Our left hand was just a normal glove.
They told us some instructions like our right hand had to be as far away from us as possible so we could not spin or turn while zip lining. Our left hand had to be on the gear, right in front of us, down below our stomach. We went on 8 lines. It was awesome! If we went too fast, we could use our right hand to brake on the wire. It's a great upper body work out. Your right arm is over you and farther away and your left hand isn't really doing anything and you have to raise your feet up like you're sitting back in a reclining chair. So, after your all worn out.
There were 2 long big zip lines where you could not brake. So, that was fun to do! When you're zipping through the jungle, it feels like your flying, and you can look down and you're so far off the ground! The workers were really funny and super nice and so good with kids. My mom didn't do it because she doesn't do heights. She said that I am a dare devil when it comes to out door things. My brother, dad, mom and I all had fun. Yesterday was a huge blast of fun!
