Skydiving!!!!!!!!!


Sunday we all headed to San Marcos to go Skydiving. Woo Hoo!!
This all started last year when Annie's graduating class decided to go Skydiving for their class trip. We told her that would be our graduation gift to her if she wanted to go and Dad definitely wanted to chaperon the trip. Two of the graduates ended up making the trip. You guessed it one of them was our Annie. So... when Jenny graduated she wanted the same graduation gift. The problem was Jenny was 17 when she graduated so we had to wait until she turned 18 (Skydive San Marcos rule). After discussing this with family and friends we had a few extras join us this year; 13 of us jumped out of a perfectly good airplane. And, yes the us includes me, the mom. It was a BLAST!!!


Here is Grammy and sweet Amy hanging out while the jumpers are gearing up and getting ready to jump. Grammy was a huge blessing, helping watch littles while we jumped. And now I have to tell you the other reason Grammy and G'Pa came along. Last year they came to watch and G'Pa said if we jumped again he was going to jump too. So, at the young age of 70 G'pa jumped out of a perfectly good airplane.



I was going to post the graduates jump first and pictures will not cooperate, so here is the G'Pa.

G'Pa heading out to the airplane. He's up and out of that perfectly good airplane.
He's on the ground and grinning from ear to ear. He had a jumping buddy too. One of the girls friends, Kalleigh Bowhay's dad came and jumped too. I think these guys had fun!


Annie jumped again this year too. She's headed for the plane. She's on the way down.


On the ground!



Here come some more of the group.


Kellen, another friend, on the ground and grinning too.
