Matt's Homemade zipline

Our children are very lucky to have Matt as their dad for many reasons.  One of which is his creativity and adventurous nature.  He was outside gardening and straightening up the garage with Ella Catherine and Carter while Cassidy and I were cooking and folding laundry.  The next thing I know I look outside and he has made a homemade zipline for the kids.  Ella Catherine takes more after him in her willingness to try new things while Carter is more reserved like me and likes to hang around and watch.  So, only Ella Catherine enjoyed the zipline.  It was short lived, but she sure did have fun while it lasted.
 
Getting ready for the first run

And she is off

wire hung a little low and swing a little long so she hit the ground

Wire higher, swing shorter and she is ready for the second run.  I believe right here she is saying daddy I'm not so sure about  this and Matt is telling her it will be fine.

And she is off for round 2, eyes might be slightly shut

And now they are completely shut

We may have been yelling at her to put her feet down so she didn't hit the deck.  Which she may or may not have hit anyway. oops.  Luckily, she slowed herself enough that she didn't hit very hard.  I know it wasn't bad because she wanted to go again.
