You may not know this but Chris loves heights, I on the other hand do not. She has always wanted to skydive since I met her in college. Back in the day, before we got married, I gave your a gift certificate to go on a glider (glider pulled behind a plane and then the tether is let lose and the glider does it's thing) which she loved. Truthfully, I was hopeful that experience would be enough, but no - she still wanted to skydive. Well, life got busy and next thing you know we have kids. So being the responsible one that she is and she also honored my request to wait... Until the boys were out of school, out of college, living on their own, married, and then I ran out of excuses!!! And of course Nick, thought it would be a great gift for her (and him). So, on Saturday, (9/14/24) she and Nick did their first skydive. They jumped out at 14,000 feet, reached about 120 mph and safely landed back on the airstrip.
For your viewing pleasure here are some pictures and a few videos for your enjoyment.
