Greetings, friends
This week, my wife and I went to visit our daughter in Moscow, and we left our youngest daughter to run the house. Yesterday we arrived home, and my wife decided that we should take our granddaughter to an amusement park on Sunday, namely to a rope obstacle course. I suggested that we take our youngest daughter with us. It's been a long time since we went to places like this together.
In winter, my granddaughter will turn 9 years old, and she wanted to walk along the track for children from 9 to 14 years old today, but the caretakers of the rope town did not allow her to do this, so she had fun on the obstacle course for children under 9 years old. A month ago, she passed a more difficult obstacle course at a higher altitude in Moscow.
The daughter said she didn't want to go through the rope obstacles. She turns 17 in 3 days, which is a very difficult age. I graduated from high school at the age of 17 and went to study at a higher school. Children now graduate from school at the age of 18. So, the daughter said that this is an easy children's game and it's not interesting for her.
My granddaughter passed the obstacle completely, and we made another attempt to complete the more difficult "Dodger" distance, but the responsible employee said that it would be difficult for Alice to pass this lane. We didn't insist and left for lunch, although I saw that there were children her age and less nimble on the strip.
After we ate meat and fish cooked on coals at the food court, the girls decided to have some more fun. The daughter said that she, too, is now ready to go through the obstacles.
My daughter is already upstairs, and I didn't even notice. At first, she started going through the obstacles very cheerfully. I didn't even doubt for a moment that she would pass the lane quickly and easily. We even laughed that the track is shorter for adults than for children. But it turned out that we were a little mistaken - the distance was longer than it seemed at first.
Dad, take a picture for my friends, I'm going to do the splits!
At first, my daughter did such pirouettes on ropes, but then she already did similar figures out of necessity to overcome obstacles.
Did the difficulties start? Yes, it turned out to be the most difficult stage - walking a tightrope.
Mom stood and watched her daughter walk on the ropes at a height of about 5-6 meters. She told me that her palms were already sweating from fear. I knew this without her saying it, because I know that my wife is afraid of heights.
When my daughter turned 3, we started taking her to the pool. She was afraid to jump into the water from the side. But after about 4 months, she overcame this fear and even jumped from a three-meter springboard. It seems to me that it was then that she learned to overcome her fear of heights.
When my daughter stepped onto the ground after passing the highway, she said that her legs were shaking. Even now, I think that it would probably be difficult for me to pass such rope obstacles. I could use my weight; I gained a lot of extra weight.
A little more and the distance will be over.
My daughter was very pleased, she said it seemed simple and easy from the bottom, but it turned out that it wasn't.
When we got home, my wife and I went for an hour-long evening walk; we didn't even invite our daughter and granddaughter with us.
It was a very pleasant Sunday, which was also facilitated by sunny but not very hot weather.
