so i jumped out of a plane...

i have wanted to go skydiving for a while. i don't know why. it just sounded cool. and like something that would be out of my comfort zone.

so since my mom is turning 50 this year and she's done with all her cancer treatment she thought this would be a good thing to do too. i love it. i went skydiving with my mom. :)

holly came too since it was on her 27 list. so she went first. here she is all strapped in and ready to go!


















my dad was pleased to see she landed safely and without major injury. because out of the 3 of us, holly is definitely the most likely to get hurt. ;) just being honest.














here's mom and me all ready to go! yay!














my dad was still so nervous. haha. almost wish i could have been on the ground to watch him. he hates heights. he kept trying to say he had a doctor's excuse because of his back as to why he couldn't jump that day. but it's really just because he's too scared. he called my brothers while he waited for the plane to get to altitude and aaron got queasy just thinking about it and daniel was like cool.














here we are doing spins! i'm the one with the yellow parachute, mom has the rainbow one.














here's my awesome mom! isn't she so cool? i love her.














here i am! it was sooooo fun. still can't really believe i willingly flung myself out of a plane, but i would do it again in a heartbeat. if someone else paid of course. skydiving is dang expensive!














coming in for the landing...














we made it! and we loved it! happy early birthday mom!
