mary’s big day

Things here have been going well. September is one of our busiest months at work (if not the busiest), so we’re trying to take it easy whenever possible. Since nothing major has happened to us lately, I thought I would report on my mom’s recent birthday present: skydiving. She went last Saturday, Dad waiting on the ground, a beautiful and warm day. Mom’s co-worker went along as well, but Mom jumped first. She had a great time (except for having plugged ears for the rest of the day) and would do it again. We are proud of her! Here are some pictures and a video.

Wow, go Mary!! This is awesome! (Happy birthday, too!) I don’t expect to ever voluntarily jump out of an airplane, so it’s great to enjoy this vicariously while keeping my feet firmly on mother earth!

Breathtaking! And such beautiful pictures too! Yup, Nancy, I’m living vicariously too, except I wouldn’t mind having a go. But if your mom jumped first, who was taking the pics?

A photographer jumped as well. He even had a video camera on his helmet (hence the YouTube video).
