Falling from the sky!

Falling from the sky at 130mph doesn't really sound appealing to most people. But strap a parachute to your back, along with a man that has spent over 100 accumulative hours in free fall... and I might consider it. Key word: consider.

A few weeks ago our friends Alex and Nic, and Nic's father, Ian, did it.

At 130 mph. (My thoughts exactly, Nic!)

We showed up to watch them jump (ya know, moral support and stuff), and I brought my camera (of course).

I spent the entire time trying to decide if I was excited or terrified.

Only when they were all safe on the ground could I suddenly start breathing again.
