Skydiving!

I went skydiving with Amy and a few other friends yesterday, June 20, 2009, in Cullman, Alabama!  We got there around 9:30 and didn’t leave till around four.  They were pretty packed!  We had tried to go twice before but the weather wouldn’t cooperate with us.  I guess the third time really is a charm!  After ascending to 13,000 feet in a King Air, I tandem sky-dived for the first time.  It was amazing!  We free-fell one minute at around 120 mph  and then floated for another four minutes to the ground.  The instructor even let me steer the chute. 

I paid extra to get a video and pictures of the experience.  The woman who did it was pretty new at it very few of the 99 pictures she took actually turned out.  (Her camera was angled to far up and she just got pictures of sky- not me!)  Needless to say, they gave me my money back.  The first bit of pictures are ones I took of Amy and her jump.  Then it switches to pictures of my jump that a lady who worked there took.  Then it’s pictures Amy took of me with my camera.
I FULLY intend on going back.  I already told two groups of people I would go with them.  I loved it!  Hmm, maybe I’ll become a skydiving instructor…. Mom said that is the only way she would jump…. If I jumped attached to her!  It was a GREAT experience and I recommend it to anyone!!!

Take a moment to read my viewing suggestions.  I think it’ll make your time here a lot more enjoyable!  Don’t worry.  It won’t close this window.
