Para-Sailing

Here we are para-sailing. We had a great time 'flying.'
The crying in the background is Ms. A. She wanted to go up as well. :) My adventurous little one.

Reed is in the first 14 seconds and I am in the remaining portion.

Ouch!!

So, here's what happens when I came down for a landing after Para-sailing. Reed made some comment about 'my extra ankle' which I didn't appreciate. :)

This is what occurred. The flight was fun. When it was time to land, I pulled the rope to my shoulder to get over the sand. As I was coming down for the landing, I tried to hit the sand running, but I just hit the sand and twisted my ankle. The para-sailing staff were so friendly and helpful. They massaged my ankle and helped me to a chair. When the sun changed, they moved my stuff and me. :) I spent the rest of the time relaxing on a chair watching Ms. A and Reed play. :)

Afterwards, Ms. A was insistent that Para-sailing is not a fun thing for mommy. I reassured her that flying was fun, it was the landing that I didn't enjoy. :)

Beach Fun in Batu Ferringhi

After 5 years of marriage we finally were able to go Para-Sailing! We tried in Mexico and Greece, but we couldn't find the right place.

As soon as we found a place to park and walked to the beach, a gentleman came up and asked us if we were interested. Reed excitedly went first. Ms. A wanted to go "flying with daddy," but she is too small. Reed had a wonderful time and tried to convince me to go. I was a bit apprehensive, so I said no. Reed and Ms. A took the jet ski out for a spin. She loved it after she got used to the noise and speed. When they came back, I decided to try out the para-sailing. The boat driver asked if I wanted to touch the water. When he saw my nervousness, he said he would let me touch the water. He tried twice and the second time worked. I panicked a bit, when the water came so close, so fast, but he quickly got me in the air again. It was a "Grand Adventure". I got me feet wet and now I can say I did it! The landing was a bit rough, but overall it was fun. :)

Reed Para-sailing

 I was able to take this perfect picture of Reed landing.

Heather's turn

Jet Ski fun. Reed and Ms A LOVE the water.

Reed built a 'pool' for Ms. A to play in since she was wary of the "big waves." She had a marvelous time and invited some other girls to play with her. She practiced her swimming on her belly and loved every minute. She was not excited to come in from playing, but we saw storm clouds and decided it was time to leave. :) We left just in time. When we sat down for lunch at a cafe, the rain came pouring in. We waited for about 15 minutes until Reed decided to get the car. He came back drenched. It was a perfect beach day. :)
