Our Vallarta Adventure

Wednesday morning we dragged our lazy vacation butts out of bed and went on an outdoor adventure... There was an off-roader ride, mule riding up a mountain, huge zip lines, rope bridges that had to be crossed, repelling down a mountain, streams we had to wade across on foot and even a small bit of hiking. It was so.much.fun. Here was our course map-
And this was the giant off-roader we took with 13 other people from our resort. We rode almost an hour into the mountains and it was quite the bumpy ride. The "road" at some points would go right through little creeks and streams and was SO bumpy.

Then we got our zip line gear on and were set up with mules. Rich's one was HUGE, and mine was super competitive. Whenever another mule tried to get in front of him he'd get mad and race him, which would have been more entertaining if we weren't climbing a mountain.

Edgar, one of our awesome guides, also has two little boys who are into TS. It was fun seeing familiar characters.

One of the zip lines we went down was the second largest in the world...
It was so fun, and we were super high in the air-
One of the platforms- this was right before we got to repel down a waterfall.
It was so awesome, and a little cold- at least I thought so. Rich was fine of course, but he's always hot.

These guys made it look SO easy-

The water at the bottom was waist deep- Rich and I both needed new shoes after this adventure!


A different waterfall we got to go down...

This was taken right before Rich got completely dunked-
And we even got to race-
CHEESE-
