Q - The whole family. Rebecca's first tunnel, Kim's first camp. I now am organizing a net group of 18 people and 24 hours. Local skydivers = 10 of the list plus two kids. 3 from Iowa and 3 from etc-land

See you in 3 weeks. The DZ is very wet right now.

My girl on Sunday - 3 shots. Pretty terrified on Saturday. But "I want to try again, Daddy" was all she said.

2nd day - we kept the speed low so she just cleared the net. Smiles, turns, fast turns, and forward and backwards motion. Joe at Orlando helped and did everything he could to make it fun. And it was. Nice guy.

I like the bottom picture, she was whipping out 720's and didn't even realize she was digging a knee (just a bit). I wish we had another 10 minutes for her but it was seriously booked.

I paint pottery at the studio these kids parents own. Grace was 3 Baylor was 6. They both had a blast!!!!! Baylor is obsessed with planes, skydiving, and now the tunnel :)
Next time they come to play with us I'll be filling out their log books
:D I figure they might get a kick out of that.

Hey Gimp - Did you come to the March tunnel camp with your team? I met Heather at the Hotel - a super beautiful and outgoing woman. The team fit in their practices between the big camp I had set up. They looked great in there, especially for the experience levels.

We've only gotten 2 practice jumps since due to scheduling and weather issues. First meet next week. I'll be watching Fury's scoring progression - looking for some serious improvement out of you guys.

Here is 4 year old Grace w. Rick and I. She had an amazing time flying, fearless I tell you! This was Grace's second flight and her induction to the TPM. She flew w. me before the TPM was around.
Anyway, it's so exciting to see the little ones flying so well and having a blast!

I actually remembered that my husband and I saw this rugrat at SVO the last time we were there. I don't know who he is or how old he is, but his dad was in the tunnel getting some training. This kid just had a blast! I am sorry for the quality of the pics, but they were taken through the glass. If this is your child and you don't want this picture posted here, let me know and I will remove it. Or, if this is your child and you want better copies of these pics, let me know.

New one here (thanks for the pics, Paige). Rebecca was flying all on her own at some points. Didn't much like backflying though.
