One of my favorite things about Scott is how much he loves his family. He would do anything for them and vice versa. Since he has wanted to sky dive since before we were married, I couldn't think of a better Christmas present than for him to do that with his Dad and brother Bud. It was on Dad's "bucket list, " and Bud has wanted to do it for sometime as well. Unfortunately it wasn't a surprise like I hoped it would be, but they still had lots of fun.
The fellas gearing up...
As they were getting ready, Mom joked that it would be funny if Scott, who is the tallest by far, got the short little guy to tandem with. And sure enough...he did.
CJ wanted to jump too, but unfortunately you had to be 18. So instead of getting one of the super cool jump suits, he settled for his ultra-warm teddy bear fleece suit.
As they were headed off to the plane, I couldn't help but snap these few pictures. Isn't he handsome? And don't the three of them just look like trouble to you?
CJ got one last play time in with Daddy before he left. Since we took this, CJ has gotten very good at standing on Scott's hand and balancing. They both think it is pretty fun. One of the other women around us thought it was awful Scott was doing this, but I think it is letting boys be boys. You have to let them be a little dangerous...
And then we waited. The littlest boys played and got lots of loving...
The girls found a beautiful dog and played outside with Tyler and Devan for a while, but it was C.O.L.D, so they were back inside soon.
And then before we knew it, we heard the plane and saw chutes. Scott came down first.
And Bud was close behind.
I love these two pictures. I love how much these two yah-hoos love each other. And I think the second picture looks like Maverick and Goose coming in off the flight line. But at this point, the rest of us were wondering where dad was....
Turns out he was delayed due to technical difficulties with the camera man. When they made the first pass and Scott and Bud jumped, the camera malfunctioned, and they had to make another pass for dad. But he was in sight soon enough, and on the ground loving it.
