Our 3 alive after their skydive

I'm not really sure how it happened, but somehow...someone...got it in their head that they wanted to skydive. Brad and I gave them part of their skydive as a birthday present. So, on Friday, May 22nd at 5:30 p.m., we arrived at the Boone Airport and prepared for Amy, Matthew and Nicole to do their first ever tandum skydive jump.
First, they were trained...

then they "suited up"

Once they were set...they went up, up, up



and then down, down, down !

Matthew was first.


Amy was second.



Nicole was third. And, it was a good thing she was. Chris was in Webster City showing their house (it's for sale), and he got to the airport just before Nicole jumped out of the plane.



They all survived! They all enjoyed it. And it will be a GREAT memory of their birthday celebrations for 2009. As for mom and dad...we're glad they're all still here to tell the tale!
