I flew! IFLY!!!


Matt and I went on a date on Saturday and guess what I got to do? FLY!! We went to the ifly indoor skydiving center in Ogden. I soared on a column of air inside a vertical wind tunnel, where the winds reached over 100 MHP and I was actually flying!! It was an amazing experience! Last year, Matt went skydiving for real, the kind where you jump out of an airplane and could die, leaving your wife and kids behind.(can you tell I was nervous watching him jump? I'm GLAD he lived!) So he didn't do the ifly because he's done the real thing! That was one of his dreams to skydive, he likes to live to the extreme sometimes, and he got that opportunity. So Matt got to watch me this time, and ifly is extreme enough for me right now!

Getting all suited up! Sweet suit huh?!


The pictures are kind of blurry because I was moving and because of the glass, but you get the idea! Here I go!!



That was awesome! Let's do it again!!

Okay so it DOES kind of make me want to do the real thing....uh, but maybe later...WAY later!

AWESOME Mel, I have always wanted to do it but I don't think they have strong enough winds for me! I would have loved to see it!
