Nathan's birthday present from us was a zip line tour. We decided to do the zip line at the Riverbanks Zoo because we had heard good things about it and Camden could go to the zoo with my parents while we zipped. The problem was our car! After a tire problem on Saturday, we had an alternator problem on Sunday afternoon. After church we went home to change clothes before lunch. Dave noticed that the battery was low, but figured he could deal with it later. Well, we first had to deal with it after lunch when we needed a jump at the restaurant. But the jump did not do much good because the alternator was bad and not charging the battery. But we thought we could make it to the zoo and then deal with the problem. Well, we made it to about a mile from the zoo! The car totally stopped...no power at all to anything.
Needless to say, Dave didn't make it to the zip line because he and dad had to stay with the car and call for help. Mom and the boys and I hitched a ride with a nice old lady...a good thing to since the mile was mostly uphill!! After getting into the zoo, Nathan and I sprinted to the zip line start and the fun began!! We were very determined to get to that zip line :)
The zip line was fun, although not as thrilling as the Hilton Head zip line. But the last zip over the river was definitely the best!!
Camden got to ride a pony and the carousel at the zoo.
