Out of my comfort zone for a day.

Ok,lets get this straight-I am by far,the most BORING person you will probably ever meet! If for one second,I feel like I may be endangering myself or could POSSIBLY not make it home to my child--there is NO way I am doing whatever the activity may be. (except driving to work because I LOVE making money!)  Lame,right??

This weekend,my husband and I FINALLY got time to ourselves..(once a month, The Monkey goes to his Nonna's house for the ENTIRE weekend-whoop whoop!!) Our awesome neighbors invited us to go "off roading" in their jeep at a "park" about an hour away from our house! Beautiful warm weather,sunshine,shorts..TAN,a jeep,no top or doors---absolutely!!

The four of us loaded up and off we went! I totally enjoyed the awesome ride to Hot Springs being able to really relax and not worrying about where we were going to have to stop and pee because the Monkey can NOT hold it, if we were going to be back by nap time,and if we had enough air going to be sure the Monkey didn't get too hot...just "BIG PEOPLE" time,with other BiG PeOpLe who spoke full sentences to ME and not their "Baby Bubby" scentsy buddy! :-) Yes,I am SOAKING this up!!

When we arrived at the park--our neighbors jumped out of the jeep and informed me that I had to come in to sign in my WAIVER??!?!?! Surprised? You can bet your sweet ass I was surprised?!  Why must I sign a waiver to enjoy a stroll in the woods? This was NO stroll in the woods apparently. I walked in to the office to sign my life away and they also sold helments and harnasses for our little joy ride. Great!

After talking myself into signing the waiver-we all headed towards the trails. Soon I realized, I may have bitten off my first peace of adventure and my mouth was NO WHERE NEAR BIG ENOUGH! We were literally CLIMBING up hills and steep slopes in a VEHICLE that someone DRIVES to work--this is NOT safe! lol (but if we tear it up,he was paying to fix it--not ME) ;o)

After a couple of trips up and down steep slopes, I started to calm down a bit..you probably couldn't tell from my awful LaNgUaGe of choice,but I was calmER..and truly enjoyed the whole thing! We were going down slopes so steep that the upper half of my body was leaned as far foward as the seat belt would allow and my butt scooted all the way to the back of the seat. The views were amazing! The weather---even MORE amazing! The company was pretty amazing as well! My husband was beyond thrilled I decided to step out of the comfort zone..however,I do believe I was tricked and THROWN out of my comfort zone! lol  But it was fun! And we will def. be going back!

Here is a view from the top of one of the EaSiEr trails! Beautiful!!
