Brian got very surprised this year by a skydiving adventure for his Happy Birthday. He had no clue until we arrived at the airport. At first he thought he was going to be flying a plane and then he looked at me and said, "Or...are we going to be jumping out of planes?" SURPRISE! Here he is with his instructor, Laura, getting suited up.
Those 2 little blips are us! Brian jumped first, so his chute is the one on the bottom. It was really crazy getting to watch him jump! He went from sitting right next to me to being about the size of a dot.
Here's Brian coming in for his landing...which he took a little hard on his bottom. His instructor misjudged the landing just a tad, which resulted in a 10ft skid in the sand, thus also a nice crotch full of sand! But at least it was soft sand on the beach!
And here I come with my instructor, Garth. We landed on on feet.
We survived! And it was so incredibly awesome...unlike anything that you expect, since we never really felt like we were falling. We got to do flips out of the plane, had about 60sec of freefall, then 8-9min of hangtime. We highly recommend it!
