Carpe Diem With Our Skydiving Daddy!

Sunday was a gorgeous, sunny, Fall day, and what better way to end it than by jumping out of and airplane and skydiving into the sunset sky? Yep, that's what my husband did, he took his first leap with one of my dearest, childhood friends, Durinda. Durinda took her first dive a few weeks ago and my husband has been chomping at the bit ever since he heard about it, so he and Durinda took advantage of this beautiful Fall weather and flew the friendly skies together, only out of the airplane, not in it! Here are a few pics (not edited) from the air. Another jumper with a camera mounted to his helmet was snapping the shots...

Headed out to the plane all suited up...

Thumbs up!

Your professional jumper, the guy that guarantees a safe flight!

Jason, Durinda, their professionals and some crazy guy in the middle.

Headed out and up!

Scooting to the edge, there's no turning back now...

And, out you go!

Soar like an eagle...

Hang loose in the air...

Make a funny face...

Flap your wings... (check the moon out in the upper right corner)

Check the altimeter...

And poof, there goes the chute!

Your chute opened, and you blissfully floated through the sky...

Your landing was perfect!

And you were all in one piece!

Carpe diem my love and my dear friend, what a great experience!
