In August, I went to the Blue Hole with my cousins. The Blue Hole is in Wimberley, Texas. I climbed a big, forty-five foot cypress tree with only knots for the first forty feet. I wanted to swing from the tree on a rope swing with a wooden bar. I had to pull the swing up using a rope attached to the swing. I had to take the rope off and step off the tree. I bear climbed to get the rope and it felt like I was going to be pulled off the tree. Then I stepped off and I fell a little, then the swing caught me.
It was scarier then last year, because there was no one there to help me and I didn’t have to get the rope myself because they handed it to me. Another reason it was scarier was because no one else was doing it. Last year I was able to do it five times. This year I was only able to do it once and I felt tired afterwards. The Blue Hole was really fun.

Wonderful, action-y images, Birdy. And, again, I wish I were there in Wimberley when the water is high. I'd like to see you swing on that tree, Isabel. Love, Dad
