Skydiving!!!

We went skydiving!!!!!  Had a wonderful time and an amazing experience.  The pictures are very out of order.  A little of our story.  10 of us left the house at 4am headed to Rhome, TX, close to Decatur.  Jimmie, twins, and Amy stayed back with our very, very good friends. We hope they still are, since we didn't get home until 2am.  We drove through some rain and when we arrived it was clearing off there.  We finally got refreshed on our training that we took about 3 weeks ago. About 3pm after the runway dried enough, Patty and Justin jumped.  They both jumped tandem.  Roy got to ride up in the plane with them.  Kellen jumped next, I didn't get a good picture of him coming in.  Sorry, Kellen.  Roy was next and you will see an epic picture with a sunburst that the owners wife took.  I jumped next.   It was so awesome!!!  Annie and Jenny jumped together and had to do a tandem jump because we were running out of daylight.  It was cool to see them coming in to land together.  A little about our jump;  we climbed to about 10 thousand feet, they open the door and one jump master steps out on the step, we step out next with our hands on the strut, another jump master steps out.  We check in with our jump masters, let go, arch and free fall for about 4000 feet, pull the chute, make sure everything is good on our chute
 and enjoy the ride!!!!!!

Kellen's on the ground, we didn't get a good picture of him coming in, however, his landing was picture perfect.  When he landed he touched down and walked in.
