Welcome to Brad's online memory archives.

A Fear of Heights

My family’s first day of visiting was really fun. After church, we went ziplining. Yikes! I am scared of heights, so I was afraid I’d get stuck at the start, but it turned out ok.

Here is a series of photos that represent my experience:

First time. I had a death grip on the handles.

Zoomed in on my face. Ha! I was so scared!

The second time was still scary, but a little easier.

The fourth time we raced. I was confident enough to let go of the handles.

They said doing a cannonball position made you go faster. I was having fun by now.

The last line was the last opportunity for fun poses. Mike and Sandra held hands. What a great picture!

For my last run, I tried planking.

As I went along, I turned head-first, so I put my hands out like an upside-down Superman.

I was super-scared at the beginning, but having lots of fun by the end. I think this particular zipline was a great place for my first experience. They really paid attention to safety, and they had a lot of sympathy for me being scared. I heartily recommend Maui Zipline Company at Maui Tropical Plantion. I would do it again for sure.

    How fantastic! They say you can’t be brave without being scared, and you were the very definition of brave! I think your photos are probably going to find their way into a chapel someday, huh? That planking must have been a hoot!

    Have a wonderful Monday!

      Your mom is brave, too! 😀
