After
her three girls went down, Lanita got up her courage to do it too. Her knees were
really shaking as she looked down into that deep chasm! |
|
|
|
|
|
Lanita's
smiling, but her knees are still shaking! She made it to the bottom, thoughit took
her awhile. |
|

|
|
| At age 5, Benjamin
Hunt had never done this before. He was very fearful at first, but we all coaxed him
along. |
|
|
|
|
|
After
he got over the edge, he changed his mind and decided to climb back up. But we all
kept shouting words of encouragement, so he tremblingly let himself down. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once he learned to trust the rope, things went better. |
|
|
|
|
|
He
also discovered that bracing away from with the cliff with his feet was not so bad after
all. |
|
|
|
|
|
With
Daniel belaying at the bottom, he felt reassured. He was a brave little fellow and
did great after the first 30 feet or so! |

Lezli Sage is an old pro at rappelling. |
|
|
|
|
|
She
was over the edge and on her way down in no time, water bottle and all. |
|
|
|
|
|
She
flipped upside down, did some big leaps, and put on a good show for her parents, who'd
never seen her expertise in rappelling. Mom Vickie took pictures from the top
while dad Steve photographed from the bottom. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Lezli's younger
brother Andre had never rappelled before. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
But he did great, and thoroughly enjoyed himself! |
|
|
|
|
|
Sarah
Ward, another expert, decided to have some fun going down face first. |
|
|
|
|
|
| That way
she can see where she's going - straight down! |
|
|
|
|
|
She
got in some good jumps too. These DayStar Academy girls are fun to be with -
fearless, daring and adventurous! |
