Airborne ...

Yesterday was super exciting -- we went to watch daddy do an airborne mission ... I have never seen Karl jump before so I was really looking forward to it (not to mention it was going to make for a great blog entry!) To make things even more exciting they just happened to be jumping from helicopters (normally they jump from planes, so you don't get to see them take off)!! Now, as my luck would have it, after I took two pictures my camera battery died! No, I'm not kidding. And the two pictures happened to be of the choppers taking off with the first stick of jumpers (Karl was jumping in the 5th stick ... )

Alas, sitting in the back of the Kia feeling rather angry at my camera -- after all it's not everyday me, Hailey and Jersey go out to watch Karl jump -- a thought occurred to me ... My cell phone has a camera. So I took some pictures of Karl jumping in hopes that I could somehow download them ... and lo and behold I could (thank you Verizon ... I love you!!) So here is more moments from our big trip to the drop zone!!


Jersey dog trying to find some shade ... it was hot out












Here we have the choppers coming to get daddy for his jump ...



Ms Hailey was chilling with no clothes on, just a diapie and a bow ...



Karl is the first little black dot .. go Daddy go ..

















Getting closer to the ground, he is still the first little dot on the left-- looks like someone is about to run into him from my vantage point but he said when he got down he didn't notice anyone near him, good to know!



All in all it was a very fun experience, Jersey and Hailey were very well behaved and Daddy had a great jump ... we cannot wait for our next trip to the drop zone =)
