I just didn't think TK would let me do it there. Believe me, Nick will be happy to go on another one!She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
McDuck 0 #33 April 9, 2007 I'm trying not to sound too cliche or cheesy here, but you're one heck of a mom. Skydiving aside, it's good to know there are some good kids being sent out into the world these days. You rock.

pinkfairy 0 #38 April 9, 2007 Wow! How cool! Maybe my sister will do a tandem this year, and I'll make sure to be in the plane with her. I wonder if I'll be just as nerveous as you.Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet. I'm a BIG, TOUGH BIGWAY FORMATION SKYDIVER! What are you?

skymama 37 #39 April 9, 2007 QuoteI wonder if I'll be just as nerveous as you. What was bothering me the most was docking on my first tandem being my son while my belly flying skills being a bit rusty. The thought of possibly taking out my own child because of my poor skills was a bit overwhelming for me!

The thought of possibly taking out my own child because of my poor skills was a bit overwhelming for me! Well, I wouldn't have to worry about that, we're not allowed to dock on tandems. I'll just give her a high five before exit, and hope that the TM remembers to pull. It looks from the pics like you had fun, and that all went well.

JohnMitchell 16 #41 April 9, 2007 Good looking kid you raised, Skymama. You have every right to be proud of him. I've taken a few of my own on tandems, too, with Mom swooping. It sure is a special kind of experience for them. Skydiving parents are some of the best, I think. My kids would probably vote for "rich parents" instead, though.

skymama 37 #42 April 9, 2007 QuoteMy kids would probably vote for "rich parents" instead, though. I hear you on that one! On Nick's birthday a couple weekends ago, we went to an indoor climbing center. When I went to pay, he noticed I had a coupon. He turned to my daughter and said, "she has a coupon", sounding disgusted. Alix rolled her eyes and replied, "I know, she's so embarrassing." They should be used to it by now. She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think our kids are totally used to our frugal ways. We're hoping enough will rub off on them so they'll get by nicely when they're out on their own someday. On a rare trip to a restaurant the other night, they all ordered just water for a drink, instead of sodas. I think they're pretty sharp with a buck.
