Then time sneakily made its way back into our lives.
“Shouldn’t Marley and Ninja be coming down the zip-line any moment?” Daisy urged.
“Oh my god yes! We have to get in position to get some pictures.”
We grabbed each other’s hands for stability and ran back down the slippery path. The others were already positioned along the way with their own big and small cameras, so we took position at the remaining spot at the end of the line, where our YS- experience had started in earnest.
My battery was dying and my arm was getting tired, when a tiny little dot emerged far away at the end of the zip-line. I trained my camera on it and used the last batter power to capture the adventure. As the spot came closer I discovered I was filming a park employee, who set out ahead of the two. I stopped the footage.
The suddenly Marley appeared. I pushed my record button frantically.
“Operation cannot be completed. Writing to memory card!” , the screen informed me.
I pushed again and again and finally got it to work as Shauna had already arrived on the platform.
“Ninja then. “ I thought, but focused on not making the same mistake as before I held out to see if it was really him zipping down next. When I could finally tell, my zoom was extended too far and I only got a tight cropping shot of his spinning butt passing over me. – Sorry guys. Oh well.
The group gathered merrily at the familiar picnic table. Everyone was in the best of spirits and hungry for more subway sandwiches, which were quickly prepared and passed about.
Ninja and tizzy got into a giddy martial arts fight and suddenly every one was doing gymnastics. It was as if we had all bathed in a fountain of youth and nothing could stop us.
The tractor pick us up and delivered us back into the care of Chicken for our next adventure, which we were thoroughly ready for.
The above picture is for Marley! - a little gem from the forest.
