I snickered and pocketed my phone. “Let’s head in. My brothers are on their way.”
“Excellent. It’s been a while since I’ve challenged Will to some friendly competition,” Jacob said.
That would be interesting to watch. Will never backed down, and he hit the gym daily, but when Jacob returned to Oak Springs, we’d found out he had military training from his previous job. I had a feeling that Will would get his ass handed to him, and I couldn’t wait to see it.
We walked inside, and I went to the counter to check us all in. There were twelve people in our group, which meant we could get reduced pricing. I loved saving money. That’s why I’d called everyone I could think of to fill the spots.
“Has everyone from your group arrived?” the woman behind the counter asked.
“No. We’re waiting on two.”
“Okay. As soon as they arrive, we’ll begin. In the meantime, an instructor will be out shortly to go over everything with you.”
I nodded and went back to the group to relay the message. We waited for ten minutes, and finally Will and Duke showed up.
“Took you guys long enough,” I said.
“Quiet, Grumpy,” Will said. His smirk irritated me more than the nickname.
After a few minutes, an instructor came out and explained how things would go. We got helmets and harnesses and then headed out to the course. When I called, the woman who booked our tour said they had a few different options. I chose the one that had us suspended the entire time. We’d be climbing through seven tree houses using bridges and five zip lines ending with a mega zip line.
Jacob had assured me Gracie could handle it. I hoped the rest of them could.
“What the hell, Sid?” Mindy yelled. “This looks hard.”
Frank laughed, and Mindy punched him.
He rubbed his arm. “Ow. Relax, babe. I’ll help you.”
Everyone hooked up and then climbed. The couples paired up, Will and Duke were together, and Charlie took Gracie. Kat had an amazing time, and she did awesome. A hell of a lot better than I thought she would. She was always surprising me, and I liked her more and more.
“You’re doing great,” I said from behind her.
I had an excellent view. The straps of the harness accentuated her already luscious ass.
“Thanks,” she said with a smile. Her face had been bright and cheery all day.
“Could you move any faster?” Will shouted.
“I could, but then I’d run over the people in front of me,” Duke said.
“There’s no one in front of you.”
Duke leaned to the side so Will could peer around him. Charlie and Gracie were in front of them. Gracie was following her mom and dad. We were in front of them, with Mindy and Frank ahead of us. Kate and Peter, who were in excellent shape, were following the guide, who was leading us through the course.
Everyone was doing a good job, and the pace was nice. Not too slow and not too fast. We’d been climbing for over an hour and were nearing the end.
“I rented out Simply Cook It tonight,” Will shouted so everyone could hear.
“What?” Mindy shouted back.
“Date night. Tonight,” Will barked out.
“We have kids!” Mindy shouted again.
“Could we talk about this later?” I asked.
Kat giggled, and I tickled her side, making her laugh and squirm, which then rocked the bridge we were on. Mindy grabbed the side for dear life and screamed. Jacob laughed behind us.
