Zip-lining on Camano Island

Zip lining on Camano Island was the main item of business on Monday!  Kristina did some research for different zip lines in the area (there are quite a few), and the one on Camano Island got the best reviews.    Canopy Tours NW was the name of the company and it was on an historic farm.  There are a total of 6 zip lines and they all sail through the trees on the property.  It was a great day to do it and we had tons of fun!  Our guides were super entertaining and it was pretty obvious that they realized they had fun job -- that's for sure!

Standing on the platform waiting for our turns.  There were 10 people in our group, so it took a little bit longer with the larger group.

The all important SELFIE!


Maisie and Stephanie geared up and ready to go!


Chris (one of our guides) always went first!  This way he was on the other side to catch us!

Da-Da getting ready to go...


and he is OFFFFFFF!


Rhett was next!  He was light in the weight department that at times, they had to push him to make sure he would make it to the other side!


Woohoo!


Kristina en route to the platform!


Kristina all safely landed and Chris getting her disconnected!


Stephanie takes her turn flying through the trees!  She doesn't really like heights much, but she said she kept looking ahead and not down!


And last but not least, Maisie making her way across the forest!


Everyone clipped on and patiently waiting on the platform for the next zip line adventure!


There was also a wobbly bridge to traverse!  It was fun too, but we were glad we were clipped in to the harness in case we fell!  But of course in true Edmonson fashion, we were all waiting for someone to fall!  But, we made it all safely across with no falls!

Maisie scampered across the bridge quite easily!


Some shots of the upcoming zip lines with people en route!




Here's one of Maisie coming in for a landing!


Da-Da is zooming in to land as well!


Rhett is coming in backwards!  We are just glad Chris was able to pull him in the rest of the way!


Stephanie flying into the platform too!


This is a great group shot!  Thanks Jared for taking the picture!


By the end, we were all feeling pretty confident...until they told us we had to repel down a tree!  But then they told us we didn't have to do anything, except enjoy the ride!  Pulley systems sure are a cool invention!

What a great day!  Let's go again!
