RC Cars & Ziplining

August 16, 2013 – Today is Noah’s birthday!
Noah enjoys tinkering with remote control cars, so we visited a race track designed for them!

They actually hold special races here for RC cars.  The entire track can be seen from this overlook which makes it easier to drive your car.

Noah followed his car’s example and ran and jumped off one of the hills

I took a sequence of photos of him jumping and compiled them together.
Next, we headed to the newly-opened “Go Ape” zip lining and obstacle course.

We were given a quick orientation on the gear and safety.

Surprisingly, after the quick orientation, we were let loose onto the obstacle course and zip lines with little supervision.
I brought a video camera with me on the obstacle courses and someday I’ll edit together a video.
Meanwhile, my Mom and Kate headed to the end of the course and the final zip line:

Now, THAT’S the way to come to a stop!

My brothers and I had a great time together and someday I’ll post a video of the obstacle course.
