Rappelling

Craig and Hayes have in their heads a crazy wild idea to take the whole family rappelling in southern Utah before school starts.  Rappeling is when you are wearing a harness and you attach the harness to a rope and lower yourself down.

They have a trip planned next week.  Here are pictures of all of us learning to rappel off the haystack.  Mac and Josh weren't sure of it the first couple times, but then they really got the hang of it.








Then Hayes said it was time to start doing it for real, off a cliff up Logan Canyon.  Here are the pictures.


This is Josh rappelling by himself.  


Hayes, our fearless leader

I'm not completely sure about this.  Seeing my babies up there, surrounded by nothing but air, gives me a sick feeling.  Babies belong on the ground.  Even knowing that they are tethered to something doesn't make me feel much better.
