thats what i call a party

we started right after church. we all met at our house for bbq, burgers and chicken. then we headed outside for a chat with billy the funny neighbor. (barefoot billy, see previous post). anyway, we then skyped a missionary friend in brazil. we got a chance to hear their story and love on them a little bit. then we headed outside for the big surprise. we have been keeping this a secret for a long time. we finally unveiled a 320 foot zipline. it was amazing. it was very scary. very scary. i dont even know how fast it is but it will make you scream. its like having a roller coaster in my backyard. wow, it is awesome. imagine climbing a ladder up a tree 20 feet in the air. then jumping off while sitting on a seat strapped to a pully. flying down hill for 300 feet before swing almost upside down for a stop at the end. unbelievable.
then we ate more food after a quick nap during a movie(nacho libre). then more zipline fun, a littl motorcycle riding, and fireworks. then we ended the night with a huge bombfire. we sat around the fire and talked for hours. actually people are still here talking. very cool day. it has been one of the best days we have ever had. i love my house. we are able to have so much fun here. we had another "party with a purpose". we raised another $250 for our friends in brazil.
