You'll Never Guess What We've Been Up To!

So yesterday we had quite the adventure!  But the day before, John decided to be a bit of a daredevil... Him, Steve, and Mary's sister all went for a little Jump that wasn't so little... haha  They all jumped off of the Skytower, which is a tall building that looks pretty similar to the space needle and is the tallest man-made structure in New Zealand.  You get clipped onto some wires and its a 192 meter drop to the bottom!






Yesterday however, Mary, Steve, John, and I all went canyoning!  It was pretty crazy!  We had a guide and he took us basically on a hike through the forrest, but x1,000,000!  We hiked in to a certain spot, and then we put on wet suits, helmets, and harnesses and swam, jumped, slid, repelled (abseiled, if you're from New Zealand), and "tramped"(hiked) down a big stream with tons of drops and waterfalls!  It was tons of fun!  The girls got a little chilly with it being colder out, but it was definitely worth it!  Our guide was really nice and funny too, so he was fun to go with.  He also told us a funny joke: What's brown and rhymes with snoop? (think about it and the answer's at the bottom) And the scenery was SO pretty!  There were tons of trees and blue water and cool huge rocks everywhere!

Our guide took some fun pictures too, so have a looksy!
John repelling!

Me jumping!
Me, John, Steve, and Mary

As you can see, it was pretty awesome!  :)   
O yeah, the answer to the joke is: Dr. Dre  haha
