Youth is wasted on the young. My grandson (he's 6 too), asked Grandpa to ride the zip line with him up about 40 feet or so.... scared the bejesus out of me.....

Well you guys did better then me. MY son was given an 03 GTI and I was going to try to help him push start it! Big mistake, pulled a muscle, can't even walk! Getting old ain't no joke!! 😟😳

Wing,
I know how you feel. A few weeks ago I pushed my son's cars and screwed up my back. Getting old isn't for wimps!

Agree, getting old isn't for wimps. But it sure beats the alternative. 😅

Zip lining actually sounds fun may have to change my clothes afterwards but something I would try.
A friend got her daughter a hoverboard for Xmas, I help her to balance herself on it once she got good on it she said Jim you try now, I looked like a drunk guy leaving a bar at 2am

Luckily I went to the bathroom before, otherwise I would have been changing my clothes. The zip line was about 300 yards long and went very fast (with an abrupt stop at the end even with the people slowing me down). When I was younger I never thought twice about heights (and it didn't bother me either), but now, I keep grounded and there's less of a chance getting hurt. I guess when you get older (and wiser) you realize you're not invincible.

I tried to put roller skates on about 10 years ago, and made it about 5 feet off the bench before I dropped like a rock. Needless to say, the skates came off right then and there and I sat down the rest of the time. Funny, my wife (who hadn't been roller skating in 30+ years) looked elegant and she was spinning around like a pro. All the kids and grandkids had a blast (my kids freaked out when I fell), but everyone had a great time. I guess it comes down to "know your limitations".

My daughter convinced me to skydive years ago. I was scared sheetless until we actually cleared the plane. Not near as scary as I thought it would be. It scared my daughter WAY more than me.
Now she has a 3 year old son who will soon try to get her to do scary stuff.
Payback is a bitch.

Getting old is making things harder.
