Parasailing: an unexpected fear

Hi guys, remember me?

Yeah...I know it's been awhile. But I have a good excuse. Really, I do.

I blame it all on MamaFL.

Less than 24 hours after I got back from Europe I met up with her for a week of fun. It was her first time in Hawaii since I moved here, so I wanted to show her Hawaii's finest. We went hiking, snorkeling, whale watching, shave ice eating, Pearl Harboring, sunsetting, and giggling all around the island. But perhaps one of our most memorable experiences was the parasailing. Aka: realizing I have a fear of heights.

Lucky for you a photographer was there to capture it all! Hopefully these will bring some laughter to your day.

 Before our lift-off: so calm and relaxed

Haha: Mama's scared! 

Holy hell: I'm scared! (Click to enlarge: Can you guess what word Mama's saying?) 

And the terror continues as we go up... 

Up... 

Up... 

Up...



And away... 

I was happy when they finally brought us down for a dip 

And turned into a five year old after our first dip

Needless to say, I was very happy to get back on the boat. Don't get me wrong; I loved the experience with MamaFL, but I think it's going to be awhile (and several drinks) before I get the courage to do this again. Let's just hope they don't introduce this as the fourth sport of Ironman.
