flying fox

Maya is a big fan of the flying fox at one of our local parks.  A flying fox is like a zip line for kids.  They have them at parks all over New Zealand.  I don't remember ever seeing anything like this in the states..at least not at a kid's park.   Here is our brave little Maya.
This photo gives you a better idea of the length of the zip line.  You can almost see the harbour bridge in the distance.

  2. Matt and Mike used to love playing on those (or ones similar) in Calgary! I haven't seen one in a long time. Abi would love it. Your kids are darling!

  3. Is she strapped in? Love it- looks so fun. What a little daredevil!

  4. No straps just holing on for dear life. The ground bellow is pretty soft, wood chips. I also run along side Maya near the bottom because she sometimes has a hard time holding on when the flying fox bounces back at the end.
