My sister Anna is the office manager for Classic Lifeguard in Page, AZ. We were visiting there for the weekend, and she was able to hook us up with a 30-minute helicopter ride. It was by far the craziest/scariest thing I've ever done, but it was so worth it. Ty was in heaven the entire time. Jack was very brave and only screamed once...which is more than I can say for myself. Our pilot was in the military for 17 years and flew helicopters in combat in Croatia, Israel, Iraq, and Afghanistan. I think he was excited to show us some of his combat moves.

| This picture looks like Ty is pointing the camera downward, but he's not. This was taken out his side window. We were banked very hard to the left. |
 |
| Can you see how close to the ground we were? The pilot said we were going about 160 miles an hour at 15 feet off the ground. |
 |
| Skylight Arch. Right after this picture, the pilot asked me if I like to rappel. I quickly yelled "No!" He replied, "Well, I'm going to take you rappelling right now," and we dove a couple hundred feet down the side of this cliff. |

| A nice view of Lone Rock. |
 |
| We flew right through that "V" notch in the rock. Yeah. We could see the people on that houseboat freaking out. |
We survived! Thanks Anna!

Holy cow....I probably would have peed my pants =) Glad you survived to tell the tale!
So fun! Well, hearing about it. I'm not sure if I'd love the actual experience (not surprised Ty was in heaven). =)
