What goes up, must always come down.

The future

jumper! 

Go Ally girl!

Chuck and Aunt Marcie-
the first family member
to go with Chuck!

Happy Birthday, Phyllis!

Annie, concerned of what
is going on and what her
Grandma, Dad, and
Mom are about to do!

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

After Take Off! Yeah, Benjy!

Brother and Sister.
Get ready for a ride!

Only you can get away with looking so cute in 
this kind of outfit, 
Suz!

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!!! 

Oh Valerie...

I posted this on Valerie's birthday but Blogspot was having issues, so it was usposted. So Happy Birthday again, Valerie!!!

Happy Birthday, Savannah!!!

         Wow! Time goes by fast and they grow

                       up wayyyy too fast! 

We love ya, Annie!

Introducing to you...

CHUCK COOK the TANDEM INSTRUCTOR! It's official. So gear up and get ready to have an unforgettable jump of your life! Oh, and make sure you schedule with Chuck!

        Just to reassure you that YOU WILL SURVIVE, 

the following must take place:

Gear Checked and Ready 
to Rock 'n Roll!

The Instructor puts on a reliable
parachute and is sure to tighten up
all of the appropriate straps so he
doesn't fall out of it.

He places the harness on the student so
 they don't fall off of the instructor and then instructs them of HOW they are going to jump out of the airplane and what position they need to be in during their freefall. And they're off to have the time of their lives AND...

land safely on the ground, hopefully with no broken bones.
I'm mostly just kidding. More than likely you will
not break anything coming in on landing.
Most of that are dependent on how well you follow instructions!  (hint, hint)
 But it is pretty important that you jump with a smart tandem instructor like Chuck!!!

I'm a proud and happy wife and super excited that you decided to skydive. I had the opportunity to be Chuck's very first customer and it was awesome to say the least!!!

A funny group of skydivers that you will recognize at the 
Caldwell Drop Zone.
