Zip Line Adventure~Big Sky Montana

Our Zip Lining Adventure! 
While in Big Sky we had so much fun, played in the snow, learned how to ski, shopped, played games, and then on the last day.....We ZIP LINED!!!!

 Stuart putting on the Zip Line Gear!  Very Important Stuff!!!!!
Here I am sporting my gear! (what was I thinking????)

Ok, do you notice the hand going up?  well after I was already to go, I decided .......
Ummmm I cant do this, I have children I need to be able to take care of! I don't want to die now!

Meet Kris, her husband Mike and our guide Vick,
well Kris calls me and says "Hey, ya wanna go Zip Lining with us?"
I say "well I am not sure", Kris is like come on it'll be fun.
So I finally decide OK, I am going!
Stuart comes in with a hurt knee after his last ski run, I say well
I am going with Kris on the Zip Line Tour, do ya wanna come?
So off we go!!!
I say all that to say this...........
on the way up i start getting a little nervous and then after they get me strapped in and I am ready to go, I start crying (literally), I can't do this!!! Boo Hooo Hooooooo!!! Big Tears!


But after all said and done, I have Kris to Thank, because I had the time of my life!

Here is Stuart Zipping Upside Down!!!
notice the skiers down below?  The Zip line at this point was
 approx. 325 ft, and 100 feet over the
skiers! Is that not the coolest thing ever???
We actually bought the CD of the pictures that the Lodge Photographer took,
I will try and download those as well.

So I went from crying on the first run,
 to hanging upside down on the 3rd run!

Here we are with our Awesome guides, we had a blast!!!

Here is Stuart collecting snow to take back to the children.

The jar full of snow!


We tell the children O' we brought you some snow back!
They kind of look funny at each other and then when Stuart gave
them the jar there were like.....for real dad!!!
Not to impressed, but we thought we were pretty funny!

Somewhere on our way up to the Zip Lines

Coming in or a landing

Stuart coming in for a landing! 
We had such a GREAT Time, can not wait to go again!

Kindness Really Does Matter!

Earlier this month I had to opportunity to Stamp with my Mother~in~law!
She asked if we could make some cards to give to one of her close friends as her Christmas gift.
Here is one of the designs we did! I just love all the little techniques we used on this card!

The embossing, using the Big Shot Embossing Folder!
The Amazing border punch!

Antiqued with soft suede using a sponge.

What is the Golden Rule?  Do unto others as you would have them do to you!
A really simple but O' so true lesson here! Just be nice to others, Yes others may hurt you, but Jesus says turn the other cheek. Yes I do know that turning the other cheek is hard and forgiving is sometimes too much to bear, but remember God has us in His Amazing Hands and will take care of those who cause harm to his children!
