Skydiving!

Whoo! I never thought I would actually do this but I did! I am glad too! Very proud of myself for doing something that I never thought I would. I enjoyed it a lot. My brother was the one who really wanted to go for his 17th bday. Tomorrow... I was sure that my parents werent going to let him but they changed their minds. I decided to join him without him knowing. My dad was able to keep a secret for a whole week! That's just as amazing! It was a 60 second free fall, and then a parachute ride for about 5 minutes. I didn't even scream! I really enjoyed the parachute part, the instructor was going to let me steer but I didn't want too. The scariest part was that he adjusted my harness in mid air! Eeek! but I was still strapped in so it was okay. The airplane was so small! Held only about 20 people, and when we got to the height that we needed he kind of stalled the engine so we were descending at the same time as the plane I guess. That was freaky, because I knew we were going soon. Then we got to the edge and that's it, the instructor pushed us out and there we went! He was nice, everyone there was super cool. They kinda rushed us though because it was a weekend and the start of the busy season. I kid you not the instructor was out of the plane and then went to get the next jumper. Back to back! We got there with only like 10 cars maybe in parking lot, by the time we were done it was packed! It was $100 for the jump and $75 for the video and pictures. I am so glad we got the video and pics because it makes it nice to share and have evidence for your memory.
Here's the video from start to finish...
