So this was bright and early Tuesday morning. Tori and Sarah were assigned to video, and I was assigned to photograph. Here’s a glimpse of the morning -
Up she goes.
It’s huge. Laying on the hill, it didn’t look as tall as the barn as Jacob kept insisting it was. He was right. It is as tall as the barn.
That whole process took only took a couple of minutes, and then the real work started. These guys mixed and poured cement for a long time.
They had quite the set-up going. A generator powered the cement mixer and the sump pump which was in the lake (in a bucket with holes drilled in it so no gravel would get sucked up) pumping water through the hose to the cement mixer.
Was a beautiful morning but very very hot.
Amazing how hard a crew of boys will work for the fun that follows.
Some cleanup while the concrete set, and then Jacob pulled the tele-handler away.
Not sure why it took four guys to hook up the rope. I think Jesse actually got the honor.
Ornery Jacob wouldn’t let them down right away. Kept telling them to jump.
Which they did once their phones and glasses and wallets were safely ashore.
Not sure why all operators had these big grins. Must be the big boy toy thing.
First jump.
Micah went up really high.
Jr. jump for littles.
They loved it too.
Crazy kids. Kept wanting to go higher each time.
Ben.
I missed the video of the first swing, which of course was done by Jacob.
Umm. That’s a big drop.
Jacob did the highest swing of all.
Crazy high!
