Day 8 - Field Trip - Suspension Bridge

After we left Drumheller I decided to take the kids on some field trips. These were planned for the next day, but since it was only 2:30, I knew I could possibly finish the extras today, and have a more relaxed day tomorrow.

We first headed to the Suspension Bridge.

The boys all ran across it.

All that is, except for Cassidy. He was so nervous. He walked slowly and carefully, holding onto the wire on the side.


But he crossed it. That is what matters.




When this child was a little boy he was scared of swings. And he conquered that fear. Last year, he didn't like rollercoasters at Disneyland. But he conquered those too.


When he came back across the bridge and his brothers gave him a hard time, I told him that he was the only one that had done anything difficult. He had taken on a fear and conquered it. He beamed. When next he scaled the Hoo Doos with as much agility and speed as the others, I could see he had put some of his fear of danger behind him.
