Marc's 30th and 31st Birthdays!

Last year for Marc's 30th birthday I decided to do something special since 30 is a big milestone. So I got him a gift certificate for skydiving!

Well finally, the day before his 31st birthday he got around to using his gift certificate. He took his brother Jeff (mini Marc) and his friend Joe with him. Here they are before any of the action started. They began by watching an "instructional" video that was hilarious. It featured a man with a beard down to his belly button who basically told you if you die, your family can't sue. It also showed video a footage of an ambulance driving away to which Joe stated, "do they need to show the ambulance? Why don't they just show a grave?"

Here they are all suited up and ready to go!

What's wrong with this picture? We had some time before they went up and we took tons of pictures with this little demo plane. I was laughing so hard, I thought I was gonna go into labor!

They each did a flip as they jumped out of the plane. They free fall for about one minute before they pull the parachute rip cord. While free falling Marc's tandem guy did tons of spins and Marc said he thought he was gonna toss his cookies!

They got to steer the parachute so that was pretty cool!

And luckily they all landed safe and sound! They had a blast and are ready to do it again!
