Skydiving

We finally got to go skydiving for Patty's Graduation, we had taken the class to be able to jump by ourselves about a month before but it was too windy to jump that day. We got up about 3:30 and pulled out about 4am to head to Dallas. We got to SkyDive Cowtown around 8 and took a refresher course and then started jumping! It took most of the day for all of us to go. Justin and Patty went first, the both had to jump IAF(with and instructor strapped to you rather than free falling beside you) Patty, because it was her first jump and Justin, because they were worried he wouldn't be heavy enough to control his chute in the wind to land. Kellen was next, he got to jump AFF(By himself with 2 instructors falling beside him) he did great and made a perfect landing. After Kellen was Mom and then Dad. By that time it was almost dusk and you cannot jump after dusk, so Annie and I had to jump IAF to save on time(4 people in the plane for 2 jumpers=1 plane trip and less time as opposed to 3 people in the plane for 1 jumper=2 plane trips)

After Annie and I jumped we loaded up, got supper and headed home. We got in around 4 am making it a 24 hour day for most of us and a very long day for those who had naps and/or slept on the way home. But it was so worth it! Skydiving is so much fun and I can't wait to go again!!
