It was Christmas, the children were opening their presents and what did they get from Aunty Andrea, Paul and Asha? You would never have guessed it, vouchers to Adrenalin Forest. What is this you ask ...
Here's the brochure:
We finally managed to get booked in with the Jenness Family and off we set to use our the vochers. The parents decided to join in so everyone was in the same boat. When we arrived the first thing we had to do was harness up.
Next was the demo and practice run where the instructor made sure we were doing it properly. The most important thing was to make sure you were attached to the wire at ALL TIMES. Here we are having a go:

Once we were "Qualified" we set off. There were 6 levels, Dan, Aimee and Liv did the first two, I was braver and did the third, Todd, Jack, Will, Nathan, Vanessa and Nick were troopers and did Level 4. It was very high and scarey. William didn't complete the level as he got to the flying fox and found it too hard to clip on. He was rescued by the operations, being absailed down about 12 metres. I was so proud of him knowing his limits. These are some shots we took:

In summary of the event Olivia says ... "It was challenging, but fulfilling". This was us chilling out at the Aotea Lagoon Park afterwards. We were hoping for a coffee stall as a caffeine fix was in order (no luck). I wonder what the next adventure will bring?

| Jack - He didn't have enough climbing. |

Thanks Aunty Andrea, Paul and Asha - I bet you're looking forward to next year's present (now that you've started something - ha! ha! ha!)
Daniel had his last night at Keas tonight. It was a bit of a rush from his Miniball Final (we came 4th) across to the Belmont Scout Den. It was a family sharing night and everyone had to bring a plate in the theme of a bug. We brought the Hungry Caterpillar:
