I marked my 52nd birthday this weekend by skydiving with my husband and kids.
What a KICK! It's an awesome feeling to jump out of an airplane at 14,500 feet. It was colder than I thought it would be, it did not feel like falling and I was way calmer than I expected. Once the chute is delpoyed you have a very gentle sensation of floating to earth.
My kids really loved it, it was so special to do it with them. Made my jump that much sweeter.
So much fun. I highly recommend it.

OMG I could never do that. Still, climbing should never seem scarey now....Your kids are lucky to have parents who encourage them to do these things. I liked your girl power TR as well.

A bunch of friends pooled together $ for me to jump for my 26th. I went 2x ... the endorphins last for days.
