We jumped...

we survived! AMAZING!! TERRIFYING!!!

Paul (Caroline's instructor), Caroline, me, and Brian (my instructor) about to get into the airplane

On the way up (surprisingly I wasn't nervous ... at this point)

I know I pull funny faces for photos ... this was a gen-u-ine face. I was about to be hurled out of an airplane and I was petrified!

See my pink shoes - and the belly of the airplane, that I'm NO longer in?! Eeek!

Free fall

I spent a lot of the 60 seconds of free fall screaming

I tried to smile for the camera ... quite hard when you want to scream and you're struggling to breath because of the force of the wind!

The weather was dodgey and the wind was up and my harness was SUPER tight. We came in for a pretty quick landing and it hurt to get my legs up in the harness. Can't tell if this face is pain from the harness or fear of the fast landing.

On the ground

yea

Caroline and I just after the jump
