Daniel and I were able to spend a couple of days in Flagstaff at a husband & wife seminar with his work. We got to do some fun and kind of scary activities which helped us rely on each other and draw symbolism about relying on the Savior and His atonement. It was great. In addition, the weather was wonderful! So nice to escape our dreadful heat for a couple of days! Here is a sampling of some of the things we did.
We climbed a pole 4 stories high, then walked across a beam, then got lowered down. I don't know the correct terminology, but Daniel and I were anchors for each other on our rope supports and for lowering. When I was lowering Daniel down, he picked me right up off the ground. Luckily, they had prepared for that and there was somebody behind me holding my harness.
I was quivering all the way across the beam, especially when I looked down. So I just charged ahead and went as fast as I could without falling to get it finished before I got too scared.
Daniel climbed up this perch thing and jumped off, but I had had enough excitement in my day up to that point that I felt okay passing on this one.
This is not a picture of us, but we also did this one. You climb up the pole, then walk across a wobbly wire in a Y shape with those hanging ropes to hang onto and meet in the middle.
Zion was a great spectator, and even made himself a little friend. Every time they saw each other during the two days, they started talking jibberish back and forth, and the little girl kept trying to share her binky with Zion. It was hilarious and so cute! :)
We also got to do some hiking and exploring some cave homes from an ancient Indian civilization.
