BECKY'S BIG ADVENTURE

Becky recently went on a business trip to South Florida. While there she visited with some cousins who took her on a sky diving adventure.  On the Saturday that she visited, they offered to treat if she would jump. Being up for adventure, she decided to go for it.  Well, she didn't exactly jump, she was strapped to someone who jumped!  Actually, she had second thoughts at the last minute, but it was too late to grab a hold of the sides of the doorway! Once clear of the plane and falling towards earth at probably a very high rate of speed, she began to really enjoy it. In fact she enjoyed it so much that she went back the next day and did it again with a photographer along!  Here are her pictures.  You can click on them for a larger picture and use your "back" button to return to this page.

They have the "thumbs up" thing going in the pictures below.
