Default balancing on the ropes
For a kid, this is a highwire type of obstacle course. Two of my daughters wanted to try this out and so.... sigh....Daddy's wallet opens up once again. Off they go. The whole structure is about 4 stories high and you can work yourself across a single level and then go up or down, really wherever you want to go and do what is comfortable for you. Needless to say, they enjoyed themselves. This was actually taken at the Louisville zoo a few weeks ago.

Patrick, great series .. love the interaction between your 2 girls .. there's fear in the little one and what looks like some tough love in 3 .. then true family love in the last ..
