Free Fallin'

This past weekend I got out of work a little early. Well if you consider leaving at 7 after I'd been there since 10 early.....but anyway. It was such a nice night we went to a park near our house to watch some skydivers. They practice there - the park is also an airport mostly used for flight lessons and people who have their own planes. It was so cool to see the divers. It takes about 15-20 from when the plane takes off for them to dive. All of the sudden you see a body free falling towards the ground and it's kind of scary! Then they open the parachute and just glide safely to earth. I still would never do something like that, I would flip out! But these guys make it look so effortless and fun.


Beautiful sunset out the car window.

Here they come!!





     







This was so cool to see. If you ever get the chance to see a group of divers you definitely should. 
Have you or anyone you know gone skydiving?
If you haven't, would you ever?
