We had many good days in Thailand, in fact all of them were good, but this could have been my most favorite day.  Every single person in our little family was happy and every single person had fun!  There wasn't one person that didn't enjoy flying through the jungle!  And to think I was a bit nervous about this excursion when we started talking about it and I was still nervous on the drive  there. In fact  I was nervous about this until I watched each member of my family arrive on that first platform.  To my delight and surprise they all arrived giggling with smiles on their faces!

I have to share with you some of my fears before this day began.  First off SAFETY;  I wasn't sure this was safe.  I mean come on we are hundreds of feet off the ground flying through the air attached to a cable by a harness.  I wasn't worried about myself or my husband, but we do have 4 children AND my husband and I ARE responsible for them!   I wondered if we were crazy taking our kids on this type of adventure. Secondly, price.  This wasn't a cheap excursion.  Sure, if it were just one or two people it's not too bad, but SIX!  AND you have to pay in advance with no refund ~ if someone were to back well  too bad.  I was pretty certain that at least one person was going to back out.  And third; safety again.  I kept coming back to the same question even though the guides assured us this was safe.

When we got to the first platform and we were about to fly to the next tree, I told Boy 3 to come fly with me.  He looked at me like I was crazy and said "I'm going by myself Mommy", and that was the end of that.  I flew over first, Boy 3 was the second and the rest of the story is in the pictures below.  Just click on the first small picture to enlarge it and then you can arrow through them all.  I hope you enjoy our little journey through the jungle!
Oh, and our journey doesn't end there.  Next we headed over to the Maekampong Waterfall!  We hiked all the way to the top, then back down again.  It is a good thing we had already conditioned the kids with all the hiking we have done in Korea!

    Proud Army wife and mother to 4 wonderful children.  I love to cook, travel, work out and scrapbook life’s adventures when I find the time.  We just got orders & are heading back to the states in March 2010.  I'm bummed that our time has been cut short, but proud of Hubby for the reason why.
