Want an out of this world experience?

Then catch a UFO! Nah! Just kidding..... Go on the UFO Parasailing adventure. We surprised the kids and had a fabulous time. The minimum weight was 130 pounds to ride all alone so we decided to just do a tandem and a trio. I went up with Jacob & Sarah. And, let me tell you. 

I thought I was going to be scared or nervous. Not even. We got on the boat and as we are going out to sea, we are watching the dolphins swimming all around and jumping out of the water. They were having a party! One of the crew members put on the harnesses for us. Jacob, being the youngest, also had to wear a life-vest. When it was time to go up, we made our way one by one to the platform on the back end of the boat. Our harnesses got hooked up to a holding bar that was also connected to the parachute. We got to sit down and as the boat's speed increased, more air inflated the parachute and we were lifted up very smoothly. 

We did the “Out Of This World” package so went up to about 1200 feet high. It was amazing how peaceful and serene it is up there. Even the kids were being very quiet (most of the time) and taking it all in. While up there, we enjoyed seeing the dolphins playing around and they looked smaller than my toes! Talk about a bird's eye view........we even saw a bird flying below us!

Looks like I need a pedicure! 

Can you see the dolphins I'm point at?

An experience well worth the price tag.......and I want to do it again!  

I brought two cameras with me.  My regular digital camera that stayed with whomever was in the boat and a disposable waterproof camera.  The disposable was just in case I dropped it from way up there.....and water proof in case we got wet (which we didn't because the water wasn't calm enough to let us go for a dip with the parachute connected.)  We are so blessed to have the flexibility with our business what we can do fun stuff like that with the kids while they are out of school for the summer.  What's the next adventure?  We haven't decided yet.  In the meantime, we are also having fun at the Aloha Theater.  We are involved with the production of "School House Rock, Jr., Live!" and "A Chorus Line".  Come and watch us perform on stage.  We are having a blast!
