Rope Swing!

For the last couple days my brothers and I have been seizing the summer days. Yesterday Stephen was truly inspired to suggest that we find a rope swing. After a quick google search we found the famous rope swing in Mona.

It was incredible! It definitely got the heart racing to climb up the tree which was about 15 feet off the water and stand on this rickety wooden board. Then you just swing!

Here's a picture of Sam about to do a belly flop. Oh ya, I forgot to mention the water temperature. It was cold. Going up to the pond, Stephen said "Guys the water is going to be warm. The article said it would be about 50 degrees this time of year." Our reaction went something like this, "... umm... WHAT! 50 degrees is freezing!"

Here's a picture of me about to do a back flop. The rope swing was absolutely fantastic. As you can see we picked a really sunny day to do it... except replace "really" with "windy" and "sunny" with "dreary".

Stephen why don't we see a picture of your graceful diving skills? I bet that 15 foot thing was nothing to the high boards you have jumped off of.
