SUPER AWESOME!

Everyone asks me when am I going to start skydiving.  Especially after you have done more than one tandem. Well, I'm at tandem #4 and I really don't mind that I don't skydive yet.  Last week, I had another opportunity to jump with Chuck, but this time with a still camera and a video camera. I'm not sure yet how to post the video yet but here are some photos. 





















Chuck is fun to jump with, I must say so myself! I might add that we were the last successful tandem before the plane that we jumped out of crashed.  Luckily, Chuck wasn't in the crash and no one was badly hurt, thank God!

It Never Gets Old!

Another weekend of skydiving. This time, Chuck's cousin, Noel, happen to show up and had no choice but to go with Chuck. In the recent past, we ran into him and he mentioned that he probably shouldn't go with Chuck because if the both of them died while skydiving, it would make family gatherings a little awkward. BUT what a pleasant surprise! They didn't die!

The next day, I asked my sister, Mandy, where she wanted to have lunch and if she wanted to go on a jump. She replied that she was up to eating anywhere and that she was going to jump out of an air plane. Sure enough, a few hours later, she showed up! Yay, Mandy!!!







After the eventful day, we had a yummy dinner with Mandy at Texas Road House and took advantage of the nice weather by playing croquet and eating some yummy Aspen yogurt ice cream

Not concerned. Don't know what's going on. 
Just having fun playing with rocks.

Before Take Off.

"The scariest thing I've ever done!" 

A moment needed to cope and breathe...



"OK, I want to go again!!!"



After taking 11 tandems that day, this is what he did the the next day...





Thanks, everyone for trusting Chuck to take you on your skydive! Things don't always go as they should, but it went smoothly for the most part. Sorry to Benjy's Aunt who was injured coming in on landing with a different tandem instructor.

Summer is just beginning!




A couple of weeks ago, Annie stayed over for the first time! Here's a little bit of what we did...

"No really, I got it!"
Safety #1
"I almost got it!"

We're oft to the park!




Looking forward to having Annie over again!!!
