Be the Hamster!

We Made It!

Freezing and wet--It's winter there.

Has anyone out there got to go Zorbing? If you watched the Today Show you might have seen the anchors give it a try. They even have it on some truck commercial. That is what made me think of writing this. It has been a couple of years since we have done this, never the less, it's worth mentioning. My kids actually got to do it where it originated, in New Zealand. They had a blast. You could Zorb "wet", where they pour warm water into the Zorb then sling you down the side of a small mountain and you slip and slide inside the Zorb all the way down. My girls went inside the Zorb together with their friend Emily and the 3 of them slid down together. Miraculously, no one was injured and they loved it. Their friend Tim went down the mountain "dry" , where they strap you inside and you go head over heels down. You can go straight down or on a zig zag pathway. The owner said he was trying to get it over to the U.S., probably 1st to the Blue Ridge Mountains. I think there might be one there by now. If you ever get a chance to Zorb or if you have Zorbed before, let me know what you thought about it. Check it out at www.zorb.com .
