Over the Edge

by mssinglemama on May 21, 2009

Ever felt like you just want to dive off a mountain top?

No?

I hadn’t either. 

That was until I spent three days straight with Nolan and Benjamin, two adorable three-year-olds who, when together, can’t stop beating on each other. Like a cosmic formula Kristin and I’s sons had it out for each other during our entire vacation in Vancouver.

Watch the video.

Kristin is wicked awesome by the way. I can’t tell you enough how much I love that girl.

And special thanks to the Grouse Mountain ziplining team in Vancouver, BC.

LOL…too funny. I've always thought about ziplining but have been too chicken to try.

Good to see you didn't plummet to your death or anything.

Made me laugh out loud – love the way the boys' interactions are almost more intense than the actual jump. Looks like it was a really cool trip!

Glad you had a great time, and the boys didn't kill each other.

Heh heh,now that reminds me of my two feuding lovelies. It's a love/hate relationship and very stressful for the parent! I would love to try something so out there. The scenery was beautiful – gosh, I really need to visit Canada!

I loved this video! It kind of reminds me of everyday in my house with my 4 and 5 year-old boys – one whose name is also Nolan :) If only there was a zipline course in Columbus…some days diving off the top of a mountain sounds pretty damn nice! ;) Looks like you gals had a great time!!!

That is incredibly awesome Alaina, wow. I am laughing by myself, all hunched at my desk, and wishing you two were still here.

Also: why in eff is there a bungee cord hook hanging from my patio apple tree? I think the same person put it there as has been placing rancid-smelling objects in my Jeep.

I have no idea. I think Dave must have put it there when he blew up the air house.

I would have preferred to jump off a cliff too. I SO know what it's like when your kid fights with your friend's kid. It won't last forever though.
