Skydiving

I got to go SKYDIVING again! And it was awesome! I think it was better this time, probably because I wasn't nervous at all. I was able to go with a big group of my friend from Tucson. We had so much fun.
This was our practice jump! This was another practice option.
This is ME! We got to do a backward sommersault out of the plane and then we did some spins during our free fall. We jump at 13, 000 ft, then free fall a little under a minute until we get to 5, 000 ft., I think they said we fall about 1,000 every 5 secs, CRAZY! It is so amazing!My istructor was awesome. He let me pull the cord to release the chute and he let me steer part of the time.

Glad you had fun doing that, as it looks awesome but I'm too chicken and afraid of heights to give THAT a try! Great pictures though!! Snowboarding looked great too and the position looked about right for the average snowboarder-bottoms down!! You guys all look GREAT in the Christmas photos-wished we could have been there!
Love ya!

You are so adventurous! I can't jump out of a plane..there is no way! I do enjoy snowboarding! I still remember my first night and you Melissa stuck with the ski's and I was on my butt all night and SORE the next days. Those were some fun times though!
