Zipping through the trees

On Monday night we went as a whole Eppley family to the Spanish Fork Cement pond to go on the new zipline they have, it was so much fun. I'm not sure how far you go but in the top picture if you lookclose you can see a patch of red dirt and that is where you stop.
Nathan getting suited up and ready but at the last second he backed out. Maybe next time.
Todd, tucked and flying
Chris our future pilot flying through the trees
Geoff on his second run, his first zip down the brake was on too tight so he stopped and was stuck hanging and trying to swing it down so they came to his rescue and pulled him down with a rope then he got to go again and made it perfect. No pictures of me because I was the last to go, we will definitley go do this again. If you want to check it out go to www.ziptraveler.com
Okay, I need to clarify that they whole entire Eppley family didn't go, Brigitte and Tyler were on there honeymoon...sorry guys!

Eppley boys happenings

Alot has gone on over the past month with the three boys. Geoff went on Choir Tour to Canada and also turned 15 while he was there, they just happened to go to the Calgary Stampede on his birthday, so that was fun for him. They also went to the Alberta Temple.
UP UP and AWAY
Chris turned into a teenager on the 31st of July. For his present he went to the UVU Aviation School at the Provo airport and took his first flying lesson. He wants to be a pilot when he grows up, so he got to actually be in control of the plane going up provo canyon and landed the plane when they returned from there flight. He now has one hour logged in his flight log book, only 49hrs and thousands of dollars and he can have his private pilots license. Sorry my pictures are out of sync.
Heading out to the runway, hear we go.
Through with the preflight inspection, lets fly!
Nathan went to BYU gymnastics camp for a week and had a blast, here he is on the rings, his favorite thing was the uneven bars. They had all the kids do floor, uneven bars, high bar, rings, vault and balance beam.
Such a great little gymnast. The boys have had a great and busy summer.
