...it's my family falling 12,000 feet from the sky!
Yup, some of the people I love more than anything in the world risked their life last Sunday by jumping out of a plane at Fremont Municipal Airport! The sane people, (my mom, my sister, Tara, and myself)looked on from the security of the ground with our nervous stomachs and babies in our arms (one parent had to stay alive, right?!)
This whole crazy family adventure was actually my dad's idea. I guess he thought that things like falling off cliffs, getting lost in the mountains and being stranded in Alaska were not thrilling enough experiences to fulfill that risk-taking side of him...so why not add skydiving to the list and have half the family join him? :) Actually, knowing that everyone safely landed and had the time of their lives, I am grateful for this crazy idea that he came up with as it was quite fun to watch and created memories that will last a lifetime. Thanks Mom and Dad!! :)
Thankfully, this was not our last family picture. :)

I will so not tell my husband this as he has wanted to jump out of a plane for years!
THREE CHEERS for FREMONT!!! You were less than a mile from our house. Did you recognize the area? What fun!!! Phil and I went skydiving a couple of years ago. I didn't know they did that in Fremont. I'm glad everyone made it down safely. :)
Can't wait to hear about how you liked it bro :) If you want to go again, let me know - Scott's up for it too :)
