Congrats on having the courage to walk out there.

Breezy_Carol · 08-04-2009, 09:51 PM

I have a fear of heights and that gave me the creeps just looking at the pictures.

racetrack18kb · 08-04-2009, 09:53 PM

That's cool. But no way, no how for me. I've ridden one of the tallest and fastest roller coasters in the world but I couldn't even imagine putting my baby toe out there much less taking a step.

JR6ooo4 · 08-04-2009, 10:01 PM

I do not like heights either. but you see everyone do it. you just have to make yourself realize it is not going to break and there is no way to fall. not the same as stading on the edge of rocky cliff.

Looks cool, but definitely not for me.

However, I do have those crocs, so I can print out your picture and show people that I did it -- ha, ha.

4nana · 08-04-2009, 10:08 PM

How exciting that must have been for your family

!! One of those memories you never ever forget

!?!!? We did it's neighbor, John Hancock
(I think 100 stories) in our younger years and it was quite the thrill!! Not sure I could munster up the nerve to do either now!

BTW ~ love the MM crocs!!

Oh that glass seems so very very thin to me. No way no how.
But I am impressed that you did it!

Becky2005 · 08-04-2009, 10:22 PM

No thanks!

Then again, I've lived in the area all my life and have never been to the Sears Tower.

Congratulations on going out there. There would be a slim chance I could be talked into it but I would be there for oh about 2 seconds if that just to say I did it.

Stacerita · 08-04-2009, 10:24 PM

No thank you.

JessicaR · 08-04-2009, 10:26 PM

I don't think I have it in me.

I'm impressed with those that do though!

Nice shoes Mikeee

Disney-Kim · 08-04-2009, 11:08 PM
