Saturday Scavenger Photo Hunt


This weeks theme is HIGH. When I saw that the theme for this week was "High" I immediately thought about our trip to Mexico in September when my daughters and I all went parasailing.......
Here they are getting me ready.....

Here they are giving me my final instructions......as you can see the sail is filling with air


here I go it's take off time.......There I go.....
Up Up and away............
Do you see that yellow speck in the sky....that's me........
Here I am coming in for my safe landing......

Just so happy to be back on land!!!!

If you would like to join in on the Photo Hunt please check out tnchick for all of the instructions. Happy Hunting all!!!

I remember your doing that! We used to spend summers at Shuswap Lake and they had parasailing there, but I was always too chicken to go, but my (late) husband went once. He loved it! What fun you must have had. Love your smile when you landed. :D

My toes are tingling just looking at the pictures.

My husband go to do this before we were married---but it wasn't a safe landing! He was in the Philippines or Thailand, and his parachute lines got all twisted up and he dropped like a rock!

But these were great fun pictures. I enjoyed them.

Have a Great Weekend!

Looks like fun (maybe a little scarey!) Brave woman. The sun, sand and surf look so relaxing and refreshing.

Mary Anne, you certainly know how to get high, but take care. If i keep seeing you flying around like that, I might mistake you for a bird!! ;-)
