Repelling

The day after Paul got home we wanted to go repelling. I had told a few of my young women that when my brother got home that we could go. After baptisms for the dead I talked to a few of the young women and told them they had to be at my place at 7.
Tony Robertson came with us to help make sure we were setting up correctly, he is certified. He was such an awesome help! After he set up, he had to head back to work, but the fun had already begun.
Mckenna was the first out of the young women to go down.

 Anthony came with us too.
 Yeah I took the helmet off after the first trip down.
 At the very end James and Paul went up and took all the ropes down and carried down whatever else they needed to. However, on the way down James fell or stumbled and fell on a cactus. There were a ton of small little pricklys in his leg so once they got down we tried to get all the things out but we couldn't reach it through the hole that was in his jeans. Paul pulled out a knife and cut off the lower part of his jeans. Hence the calf picture :)
The only thing that sucked about the whole trip was the hiking back up to go repelling again :)
