It was time. It was finally time to go on the zipline course over the animal park. I was very excited, but still a little nervous. We all got on a truck to bring us to the first tower, we drove through the park and saw all the lovely animals roaming and minding their own business.

This was not necessarily the best scenario, but I was still hoping for the best. I was almost at the platform, then I paused for a very brief moment and started sliding back to the center. This was not something they had prepared us for in our morning
