Olympic Park Adventure Course

Ikey's favorite TV show is American Ninja Warrior. More than once, I've discovered the kids doing an obstacle course in the basement (climb over the back of the couch, then jump to the ottoman, then stand on a stool, then run around the room, etc.) with no shirts on, because that's the way it's done. We were so excited when Sean told us he got permission to take Ikey on the junior adventure course at Utah Olympic Park because it's supposed to be for five and older only so we thought we'd have to wait. Sean and Nikki and Dallin and Parley were nice to come to the park with us on their day off and the day was just beautiful! Ikey was really excited to put on a blue helmet and a harness and attack the course. It was about 20 feet off the ground and he was so brave! He was too small to reach the rope railings most of the time, but he made it through every obstacle by himself. Sean and TB and Dallin and I did too, but we're big and tough so no surprise right?
He's so fearless! Sean, me and Dallin watch from the platform and Parley watches from below.

He was so serious on this section! He had to take a few deep breaths.




Jovie hung out with Nikki and Parley, rode her first "snowlift", and cheered for everybody. TB and I rode the zipline, did the Advanced and Expert Adventure Courses and TB did the Drop Tower where he had to step off a platform 65 feet in the air. We had the best time and will head back anytime.
