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?
I see this in Prospect Park – a park in Brooklyn & home to many a hipster – ALL the time! I had no idea what it was. Maybe next time i'll ask to join in! It looks Fun!
This is impressive!
HA I am thee absolute worst at this. I have tried a few times but boy is it hard. Jake and his friends are super good at it too. They spend hours with it over the summer. I just bring a book and enjoy the entertainment 🙂
You and your friends seem like the coolest ever. And you have so much fun!
slack-lining is THE thing to do on sunny days here at App. I have never tried it though but always walk by many people doing crazy tricks!
