sing like wildflowers
My full and kooky life as a homeschooling mommy to 2 great kids, raising a child with HLHS (Hypolastic Left Heart Syndrome), coping with depression, following Jesus, and being much too camera happy.

Welcome to my blog! My name is Esther and I’m so happy you are here. I’m an avid nature photographer and a daydreaming thinker. My posts revolve around photos of nature’s beauty, homeschooling adventures with my 2 kids, sporadic reflections on my child’s heart condition, Bible reading reflections, gardening feats, and other mish mash things. Hopefully you’ll leave encouraged, pensive, or smiling at the simple things of life. Thank you for stopping by and hope you’ll find some interesting posts to read!

You didn’t try?
Nah, I like not falling and getting sand on my face. hehehe. Plus, I was the documenter, so it’s best to stay on my feet.
One guy was walking backwards on it; they had lines of different heights. The fall from a tall one would be painful.
Well atleast you are safe
This seems fun
Pretty tricky to me – Ellis is braver than moi!
I didn’t know this was a thing until we saw it yesterday! Some guy was walking on it backwards.
We told both kids that this was a special opportunity to try it, so they should do it while we’re there. Once they got on, they didn’t want to leave.
Linda, you’re not missing out! Thank goodness it’s sand underfoot. A fall would be painful. I’ll tell Ellis your comment! Thank u.
You mean the park strung it up – I thought you had bought it. I used to see a guy come to Council Point Park a few Summers ago – he brought two young kids and he strung the “tightrope” about the same size, between two trees and showed them how to use it. They used to go to the Park every day and “practice”. Thank you for telling Ellis.
This was at a playing field on UC Santa Cruz campus. At first, I thought they were a regular fixture at the place, so kids just got on them and experimented. But afterwards, I saw that they were unpacking more slacklines and putting them up as another person in the group was video recording them. If I’d have known it was theirs, I would’ve asked. In this case, ignorance was bliss but we thanked them afterwards and didn’t use any of the lines they used. They were really pleasant and generous.
What a cool idea with the “tightrope!” That’s an easy way to entertain and keep fit.
Of course, Ellis was happy!
An unexpected fun thing to try … you have to be somewhat agile to do it!
And have coordination!
That’s for sure (something I don’t have!)

I’ve seen people make those look easy but they are so tricky to balance on! Great job giving it a try!
Good for those who are coordinated, not so good for those who are clumsy, of whom I’m one!
Same…same
😀
What fun! Could have done that decades ago, not now! Lol
Feel the same way! But doesn’t it look like a great workout?
