Slacklining Adventures
Colorado winters (springs, summers, and falls) are sporadic in their weather tendencies. It is something that I have always been thankful for because you never really can get tired of the same old thing. The other day, the Colorado sun was out and warmed up the city to melt all of the snow from the day before and bring the temperatures up to the 60s. We jumped on the opportunity to spend a Sunday afternoon at the park.
Some of you may have heard of slacklining but I also know a lot of you have not. Really it is this hipster things that my husband and all his friends perfected on their college campus at CSU and as counselors at Eagle Lake. I have not perfected the skill but I hope one day to do so as well 😉 You tie up a rope between two trees and walk across it – believe me, it is much harder than it looks but a nice little core workout and fun social event.
We also brought a Frisbee and played a little catch, Bruce showed off his slacklinging skills by passing the Frisbee back and forth while slacklining, and we enjoyed an afternoon in the sunshine. I know it can be hard to get motivated for a little outdoor time, but I will promise you that it is food for the soul.

Have you ever slacklined? Are you good at it?! What is one of your favorite things to do outside or at a park? How do you make sure to get some “outdoors” time in during the winter months?
Looks fun! I'd love some warmer weather, but I think I have to wait awhile. You should try Kan Jam–it's a frisbee game. http://www.kanjam.com
Your look of concentration is awesome! There was a slacklining craze here awhile back, but I never tried it. I have terrible balance! I should give it a go, though.
Goodness, you would all fit in at Montreat College quite well. That's where my husband and I graduated from, though we were never the outdoorsy ones. lol.
Montreat is close to Asheville, NC which is the prime hipster/chaco/hippie area.
My hubby and I do play disc golf though. Do you guys play? If not, you should try it!

I TOTALLY want to try this. Where do you get one of those things? Also, totally proud of you for bringing a frisbee.
I have always wanted to try slack lining but even though I'm a retired cheerleader (top girl) I have horrible balance. Maybe this summer I'll give it a whirl!
