zorbing.

while we were in rotorua we decided to try out zorbing.

zorbing is basically a giant hamster ball that they put you into with a little bit of water and then throw you down a hill.

it's awesome.

and it started in rotorua, new zealand.

oddly enough one of two places you can do it in the US is in tennessee...

good ole pigeon forge.

lord oh lord.

it was so so so fun.

morgan, melissa and i decided to go together.

best. decision. ever.

you drive up to the top of this hill and then they squeeze you through a little opening in the ball

and you all stand up and start to push yourself down the hill

about 2.7 seconds in your feet slide out from under you

and you all tangle up 

and slide around

and scream 

and laugh 

and threaten to pee

until the 45 seconds (a loooooong 45 seconds) is up

and you are met at the bottom 

and plopped out onto the grass.

here are some pictures to illustrate.

post zorbing we headed into rotorua proper and posted up in the government gardens

the afternoon was full of rolling down hills, eating a yummy picnic and tackling one another.

what else is new?

 

(note the height difference between me and frost please...)

then the boys decided to climb some trees.

and we headed towards the pretty flowers.

well.

now i must go study.

although i'll admit, finding motivation has been QUITE the struggle.

pray i make it through to thursday and don't fail.

please.

love love love.
