The Saturday that we rented the lake house, we went to a concrete luge in Rotorua. It is a large down hill trek with these tiny carts. Actually, you started on the bottom of this large hill and went up to the top in a gondola. Then, you got a helmet and went for instructions. They taught you how control the cart: pull back to go, push forward to stop, if you let go completely it locks. So, I took the scenic route because I had Johnny with me and I did not want to have him or me be scared. It was fun, but I was pretty tense when I was going down. I went really slowly. But, it was nice because you drove though a red wood forest and you got to see the whole lake, which surrounds the city. When you got to the bottom of the route, there was a chair lift back to the top. I think the scariest part was a chair lift because I was afraid Johnny would do something weird and fall out, so I was holding on to him for dear life. Jenny, Clint and the kids went a few more times and I was able to sit inside and hold baby Max talking to Julie and Travis- Clint’s brother and sister in law, who are in town for a while. It was great to get a complete 360 degree view of the lake and city. It was a beautiful day and a beautiful experience.
so sweet!
