Well, I didn't go skydiving. My niece and nephew did. Today was Chloe's golden birthday. She turned 18 on the 18th. It's hard to believe. We had to wait a while for their turn, so I took a lot of photos. Here's all the cousins minus Tyler (still in Ecuador), plus Emily, Blake's girlfriend throwin' it. Blake and Emily are not acting gangsta enough.
The skydiving place was in Cushing, OK. It was a nice facility. Here's a link to their website: http://www.oklahomaskydiving.com/

I think Emily and Ashlee look a little bit alike, especially since their haircuts are similar.

Guess Emily and Ashlee got too close to the plane's propeller. Should have read the sign, girls.

Here comes Chloe!

Wheeee! That was fun!

We all met at The Savoy restaurant for breakfast-best cinnamon rolls and pecan rolls in Tulsa, then headed to Cushing. My dad did not want to watch his grandkids fall out of a plane, but changed his mind at breakfast and I'm glad he did. We were all fine until the two people before Blake and Chloe (They only take 2-3 at a time). The last guy passed out in the air and their landing was a little rough. Then, because he had passed out, he was just laying on the field. Scary to see, but he was fine. He was a pretty good sized guy and a smoker to boot, so to jump out of a plane in a tight harness put extra pressure on his circulatory system. It took 28 minutes for the plane to reach 10,000 feet, slow to 85 miles per hour, and drop the kids out the door. Chloe ordered a video and I can't wait to see her in the air. What a great way to celebrate your 18th birthday. We all had a great time. Oh, and I don't like this song, but Chloe and Ashlee have been singing it since Chloe decided she wanted to skydive. Happy Golden Birthday to the best niece ever. She's everything you would wish for plus so much more. Don't be jealous. Well, you can be jealous, just don't hate because she's not your niece.
