HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY JOEL ! !


Joel actually turned 18 back in March, but had been looking forward to skydiving ever since then. (That was his gift from our family, the chance to jump out of a perfectly good airplane.)


Off they go, into the wild blue yonder . . .

It was a beautiful afternoon in Mid Missouri!!


. . . they come back to earth . . .


And land. No injuries were incurred, except for the tiny red welts all over their arms and legs from hitting raindrops at 120 mph during the free fall. The welts lasted two days, wow! While discussing why they didn't wear a jump suit, I had this light bulb moment when I realized where the term "jump suit" came from. Aha !!
