As part of the festivities, Anne's son and his girlfriend tested the zip line across the pond. Things were going so well. Well, here, just take a look-see:
On the treehouse platform, looking over the situation.

Aieeeee!!! This is FUN!!!!

Uh-oh. Stuck! Over the middle of the pond!!

If you can't go forward, try going back. He's pulling her back across to the platform.

Almost there. One more pull and a swing should do it.

OH NO!!!

Revenge of the Mud Girl. Give him a BIG hug.

Boy, that was fun! Can't wait for the next time!

That would be my hope, if I ever got on one. I think she expected to make it across because we were all going to dinner together right after this. We waited for her to get a quick shower, rinse out her clothes and let them dry outside. Fortunately that was pretty quick in our furnace-like temperatures.
Bein' a non-swimming landlubber, I confess that I am ascairt of such things!
This gave me a great laugh.
Better than TV.

So glad you were there to document it!
It was serendipity at its best, I have to admit. I had just switched to my zoom lens as we saw the kids up on the platform. His mom and I went down to the pond to watch them. We were on the far side of the pond from them, so I wasn't sure if anything would show up really visible. And it did! Of course we had no idea what to expect, so I was laughing so hard I was afraid I missed shooting the splash. It was great to see the sequence of photos later.
