The Daredevils of Team Ryer August 24, 2024

💥Team Ryer is home to adventurous individuals! Read on to hear about the exciting outings they went on throughout New York City this summer. But be warned- these activities are definitely not for the faint of heart!

🚤The Beast

Team Ryer took an aquatic ride on the wild side on The Beast, a high-speed boat tour of New York City. Members of team Ryer described it as feeling like a roller coaster on water. What a unique and energetic way to sightsee in Manhattan!

🏙️The Edge Observatory

No one on Team Ryer is afraid of heights, as they conquered The Edge Observatory in Hudson Yards. It is the highest outdoor sky deck in the Western hemisphere, coming in at 1,100 feet tall. Step outside for stunning views of the NYC skyline- if you can stomach it, like Ryer can!

🍿Twisters & Transformers

Team Ryer headed inside for their next adventure. This group couldn’t go to the movies without adding some thrill to it! Besides seeing the next installment of the action movie series, Transformers, they went face to face with some of the real life robots! Also, in honor of the movie Twisters, they took turns braving the storm and experiencing what the winds of a real tornado would feel like.
