Yesterday my family and I went to my brother-in-law's house in Gilbert, Arizona. He's a professional magician and juggler. I've shared some of his videos on the site before.

He has a really cool backyard and last week he installed a zip line. You climb a ladder up into a tree where he has the launch pad. It's nearly 20 feet off the ground I am guessing.

It was a blast watching all the kids go flying across the yard on that zip line. We adults took some turns too. I was the biggest rider and at the end of the line I was just inches off the ground and laid out flat so I wouldn't drag. It was a lot of fun. I rode it about a half dozen times.

I talked my mother-in-law into riding the zip line. She is 79 years old. She climbed the ladder. Craig got her mounted on the seat properly and off she flew. I was at the end of the line to catch her so the abrupt stop couldn't knock her off the seat and hurt her. My oldest daughter took a picture of it. I will try to load it when she gets out of school.

You gota love an old lady with guts.
 
was your beautiful niece their? ;)
 
You can't make stuff like that up....what a trip!
 
Okay, here's a shot of my mother-in-law (79 years old folks) at the launch point up in the tree. Her son, my brother-in-law, climbing the ladder to help her get safely loaded.

Looking back up at the launch point from below, right before we let her go.

Here she is riding the zip line down. That's me in pursuit in the grey shirt.

I have that shirt Hos, ha
Does it have the state of Texas in the background?

It's my favorite Cowboys t-shirt.

Where's the photos of Hos on the zip-line?

Hos had a little trouble on the ol' z-line, so this was the only one they could snap before everyone stopped :lmao2:, and realized he was in trouble.
