this week for my day off i went to "go ape" with two of my coworkers (mike and rosie) and the son of another coworker (jakob). "go ape" is a high ropes course thing with different tasks to complete HIGH UP IN THE AIR and then a zipline that takes you down from UP HIGH. there are 5 stations, and once you're trained you just go off with your friends (and no guide) and go through them. (if you click the link above you can get a better idea of the complete "go ape" experience.) we "went ape" for about 2 hours, and it was so. much. fun. i am not necessarily in my comfort zone while up high and doing scary things, but i was very brave and did all the elements. you all would have been proud of me.
we took 13 videos. they are hilarious. i had to make a youtube channel to show you guys all of them / give you about 30 minutes of good procrastination while at work. let me draw your particular attention to videos # 10, 12, & 13.
note #1: the cinematography isn't the best. we were high up in the air or on the ground and shaky from being high up in the air. don't judge.
note #2: my nickname "logdog" has evolved this summer into "logpoodle." unclear why. but a funny name nonetheless.
Because poodle is a kind of dog, and also a funny word.
ReplyDeleteSO. TRUE. :)
ReplyDeleteYou are so adventurous--I am so impressed.
ReplyDeleteClaire.... those were awesome. I particularly like the one where you were at the Tarzan swing.... and Rosie was saying to you that you might need a running start and she takes a pause like she going to count you off... But no, Claire takes a running leap before Rosie can even get to one... awesome Logdog.... awesome. We need to find one of these in Atlanta and have you lead our "expedition."
ReplyDeleteum, watching you getting caught in the Tarzan net was the best part of my day
