Travis' 30th is this Saturday. To celebrate the big 30 I have given him little gifts all month. Each day he opened a small present like playdough, bouncy balls, gumball machine, water balls, candy, etc. Every week he got a bigger gift. One week he got his reserve repacked for skydiving. Another he got a game of golf with his dad. He also got a day at the driving range and a watch. This past weekend he got to go skydiving for the first in almost 4 years. He use to skydive all the time in college and after. He was an instructor for skydiving even. He would look up at the sky every once in awhile and say, "Today would be a perfect day for skydiving." But he wouldn't go. First of all, he needed to get his reserve repacked and the closest drop zone is a little over an hour from us. Anyway, I finally got him up there! :) He did a recurrency jump (since it had been so long) with an instructor and then he went up in a 12 way. That basically means he was one of 12 people who planned a jump together and made formations together in free fall. He did so well and we had a great day! Here is a picture of me pushing him out of the mock plane, his first landing and practicing with the 12 way. We have a video of his second landing, but it isn't working right now. I will post it when we figure out what is wrong. Enjoy!
