Skydiving!

Today, I wasn't feeling well at all, but somehow I did muster up the energy to take the kiddos indoor skydiving. Call me crazy, and I'll own it! I took the kids to iFly where they both got to skydive! Neither of them were the least bit afraid. I was just glad I didn't have to do it with them for them to take part. Neither Zack nor Sophia have any real fears which is so NOT me! I am quite the opposite, but I did miss out on a lot of fun because of the many fears I had as a kid. I guess, in some ways, I'm experiencing things I missed by letting my kiddos go for the gusto.

Their first time at Universal City Walk...


Eagerly watching the skydiving video ahead as they rushed to iFly.

Their flight instructor escorts them in...

They watch an instructional video...

They get suited up...

Goggles and all...

OMW - that was AWESOME!!!!

Not an ounce of fear! Sophia was so light he had to help her most of the time. It is a pretty intense experience for a 39 pound little girl!

She gives it the thumbs up!!!

Then she goes in for more and even higher!!!

She was so excited, and I was so amazed that she wasn't scared!

No longer skydiving virgins... Sophia thinks she's all that!

A little wind blown after the fact!

Quote: We have seen many women lately that look very much like guys. Each time, Zack has referred to them as he, and I have said you mean she. I explained that if he looks closely he'll notice that he really is a girl...

Today Zack says, "Mom do you think some girls look like boys because God didn't know how to control his powers in the beginning?"

I had to control myself from doubling over laughing!!! Of course, I told him that God knew exactly what He was doing. Fortunately, the conversation turned at that point because do any of us really understand the deeper questions that come out of a discussion such as this???
