Hunter and Mom Skydiving

Hunter decided for his 18th birthday that he wanted to go skydiving. I decided that I didn't want him to go alone, so I went with him. Since he was the bravest of the two of us, he went first. 

He was so excited, not even nervous!

I have to admit, the plane ride was somewhat freaky. There was only one tandem jumper, so we had to go separately. The plane seemed held together by duct tape! The pilot kept telling me everything that was broken. Definitely freaky.

All smiles and ready to jump!

Hunter had a videographer that jumped first and took pictures of him on the way down. Pretty cool. I was in the plane at this time. After everyone jumped, it nosed straight down and gave me quite a rush/heart attack. It was fun though. When it was his turn, Hunter liked that part too.

Loving it!

Hunter liked it so much he wants to go again...alone...

Yay! He made it safely and loved it. We had a great diver that went with us!

My turn...

I was definitely a lot more scared than Hunter going up.

Right before the jump I wasn't scared at all. It felt like a dream.

It was really cool! I loved falling through the air.

The wind hitting my face like a firehose made it a little hard to breath and it was super cold air. But still so cool.

The skin flaps aren't the most flattering. 

It was almost a disappointment when the parachute opened because it slowed down a lot. Still fun though because he would do tricks that would make us spin.

We made it safely! Dad was pretty nervous for us.

We had so much fun doing this together!
