The jump!



I got this video from the folks at the jump. It was incredible! Right before the jump, you'll see on the video that I was just sitting around. Then all of a sudden they wrap a rope around my ankles, walk me out to the edge, hook the bungee to me, and before I could get any info they started the countdown. Talk about a leap of faith!

That's why I plan on saying "YES!" when he asks. Don't worry. He'll have to be at least 5 before he can go:) just kidding...15?

Was the music playing in the background so you would forget there was only a giant rubber band between you and kissing the floor of the jungle? How do you get back up? If you don't buy the video do they leave you hanging there for the vultures to feed on :o) Ha! Ha! DebQ.

Kevin, Kevin, Kevin...that was incredable! I felt like I was leaping with you but thank goodness I know my limitations. I enjoy living through your experiences. Between this and the canoe trip...glad you got the chance and enjoyed the trip.

AMAZING!!!!!! I could never do that. I admire your courage, Kevin. There's a boy in Lachlan's class named Cord because his mom went bungee jumping while pregnant with him before she knew so you could name your baby Cord since you went bungee jumping while Sharon is prego:)
