La Fortuna, Arenal Costa Rica

Arenal is best known (in our book us at least) for it's zip lines. Brent and I have done it in a few other places but nothing comes close to Arenal. They are by far the longest and fastest! This year they added the Tarzan swing, which is a once in a life time experience that I don't chose to do again! Your harness is tied onto rope hanging on in a tree...picture Tarzan crossed with bungee jumping...you are standing a high platform with gates holding you on to the platform...when they feel you are secured (regardless if you are ready) they open the gates and you fall out and swing back and forth, well above most trees. Sounds like fun....everyone should try it! At the end is Bonnie, enjoying the swing on video...Definitely a must see!!

Kenny had this face in every picture...

After every line you had to unhitch off one to get on to the next. This meant using all upper body strength to unhook. If you couldn't you'd get the knee in the butt boost. best pictured here

Mr cool again :)

Like a pro

the best/worst part of the swing was the stopping. They each grab a leg to stop you...never knew what a wish bone felt like til that day

check out the face...all business

oh a smile! he liked it

The video...Bonnie's was by far the screaming champion and the only one without profanities
