ARE YOU READY FOR THE FLYING GRANDMA?

At our recent 8th Ward Social, Grandma joined the kids in doing the high flying rope. They go about 30 (that's thirty) feet in the air. Actually, grandma went hight because the kids pulling her up were having a lot of fun seeing how high they could get her. There is a rope tied to her that she has to release and then she is on her own as she swings back and forth.

Grandma says it was great fun and wanted to do it again but the line was too long. She was overheard to say, "If there is something you are afraid of, do it any way and it will build character." I must admit, that must have been quite a "character building experience."

The real challenge was hanging up there and knowing you had let go of the tether or request to be let back down. There was no way she was going to ask to be let back down--is that peer pressure?

All the kids came over to cheer her on. She was a big hit that night.
