my birthday was a week ago.
it was a great day.
i was helping at the VBS at our church and had fun morning with the kids.
my parents came up for the afternoon and then dinner at Boston Pizza.
on the way home we stopped at High Falls, a waterfall not too far from our house.

it was a slackline just like i had been hoping for.
so excited.
we got the kids to bed and set it up to try it out.
even more excited.
the next day we had friends over to hang out and try it.
