I promise I'm not trying to steal anyone's toy or be a bad host, but please bear with me in the next week or two if I'm a little slow to update or reply to messages.
I very, very stupidly attempt to keep up with my husband in everything that he does despite the fact that HE actually has forced physical exercise 5 days/week and is in much better shape. So for a fun date we decided to go ziplining (c'mon, tell me you wouldn't! It really was fun...) and on the last zip I got going pretty fast and landed completely wrong. D'oh.
The doc says I'm just fine, but my back feels like its been in a car accident (actually feels much worse than the only time I WAS in a car accident and hit a deer) so I'm trying to take it easy. On top of that its been either raining or so hot that we can't go to the playground without getting soaked or burnt on the slides so I can't even get those silly little updates done. Housework is out for me right now so I'm trying to avoid any photos of my home  My husband is a lovely man, but not a cleaner 
So bear with me, I may be quiet for a week or two until I feel like I can get up in teh morning without instantly needing a heat pack and some medicine. If you want me to send your toy on I understand and can do, but since I've been getting much better and I'm hoping we can go do something fun this weekend and maybe even catch up on the housework

Vicky has it right. Here's a couple pictures of the one we went to. It had an obstacle course as well as a zipline
It really was a lot of fun. If anyone is wondering why the tvs didn't get to come along, do you see that big ole forest in the bottom there? If anything falls off your person, that's where it goes and it doesn't come back! My camera I could attach to myself pretty easily, but I didn't think there was anyway that BineHH or Kari wouldn't fall out of my pockets!
Complaining to you all must've been a cure though, this morning was the first time I woke up more stiff than sore. I'm going to go do some stretches and see if I can't get back to my normal self today

Wow, that's really cool. By the way: I never thought, that you would disappear. I hope, you feel much better now. Get well first and don't worry about Kari. He has to be patient and I'm sure, he will be.
Hugs, Petra

Oh, that's looking great.
We have such a thing, called "Seilgarten" (rope garden) in our neighbour city, but it is involved in a lawsuit with the local administrative authority because of some safety regulations (like it is often in Germany). I think it is closed at the moment.

There's a lot out here that they would never allow in the states. For the most there were no attendants at that zipline, they taught you the safety side and released you. That would be impossible in the US. Similarly, the dam I just visited with the tvs in the last update wouldn't exist, it would be deemed too dangerous. Its a shame really in some ways.
