Now why anyone would want to jump out of a perfectly good airplane is beyond me. But, Scott not only paid to do it last Christmas, he also volunteered to go to airborne school over the past few weeks. He has been tired and sore, but he has also had a lot of fun.
Since the weather has been nice CJ and I have been playing outside a lot. He has connected the sound of an airplane to the sky, and he will look and look until he sees it. Here he is trying to see a plane flying over our house.
Since it was a beautiful day today and CJ has a new airplane fascination, we decided to head down to the drop zone and try to see Scott jump. Here are the guys jumping from the C-130s...
Landing...
Trucking it back in...
And seeing Scott! One of the other girls I was talking to thought her husband was running up around the same time as Scott, so when this crazy guy started waving his hands and making all kinds of noises, I just thought it was her crazy guy...but he was totally mine. :) I'll claim him though.
And here are my two favorite guys just before Scott had to head back to eat a quick lunch and jump again. CJ and I stayed a little longer and watched some more planes and had a picnic. The only thing that would have made it more fun is if Scott could have eaten with us.
