skydiving!

by Linda Hopkins

So you may recall that back on December 1st, for her birthday, we gave Marissa a gift certificate to go skydiving. You may also recall that part of the gift was that I would dive with her… well today was the day. The fact that I am posting this lets you know that we survived and in fact thrived! It was a blast and we have photos, t-shirts, and certificates to prove it.  One thing I will say though-  the g-forces put upon your face when you are free-falling are not kind to faces over 30, as evident in my photo compared to my 22-year-old daughter’s young, tight, sweet, and gorgeous face! Love you, Marissa!!!

WOW! You guys really did it! Who takes the pictures? They are magnificent.

Yes, Mom, we did it! Great fun too – each jumper who is paying for pictures has their own photographer jump out of the plane (backwards!) before them and take a bajillion pictures and they give you a disk with the pictures after the jump.

I had no idea you were going to do something so crazy – and brave! I’ve thought about it but always put it on the back burner. Hats off to you both!!

Love,
Barbara
