.: Man.ill.a

The joy of a long weekend is that my family got to get together and go to Manilla. I packed for a hot, sun filled weekend and found myself wearing my hoodie the whole time. Good thing that I love rain. My grandparents have said many times that I bring rain to Manilla and I am really believing it. Anyways....Everyone came except [sister] and [brother-in-law] who sadly both had to work. [brother] brought his friend and since they are both really crazy and wild boys who don't put much thought into what they are doing...therefore, they decided they wanted to go to a rope swing that goes into the now freezing Flaming Gorge. So here is a little slide show of the guys going on their jumps. More like a story book....so turn on some music and enjoy.

{the boys getting as much sun as possible as they plan their attack at the swing}

{It is right there....yeah that really up high there...}

{hee hee I am so excited to do this}

{They first must climb up a rope and then carefully squeeze over to the actual swing}

{[brother] is dancing a little while [friend] is peeing a little}

{the squeezing part}

{[friend]: this is high...}

{ the boats view. the part where the rock hangs out is where the rope is}

{more squeezing}

{carefully pulling the swing to him while trying to keep his balance}

{[brother]: whoa..whoa...whoa..}

{gleeful smiles as he begins his run}

{[brother]: (teeth clenched) this is AWESOME}

{He starts his descent}

{running fast..}

{still running}

{[brother]: WHO-OoooOOooOO}

{please notice face}

{like really...double click it....it is begging to be seen close up}

{[brother]: AHHHHHH (in his shrilling voice)}

{[friend]: sweet that looked awesome}

{smile for the camera....you just gotta feel like you are alive}

{quick feet}

{somewhere in between here and the last picture the rope got caught and he is sent spiraling to his watery grave....he claims that at this point he is "blacked out"}

{GASP}

{I know this is out of focus but I had the wrong setting and lens but it still gives me joy to see my brother peeing his pants out of sheer joy of seeing his friend talk about his near death experience}
