Wind-tunnel experience for entire family

Do you remember for Kevin's 40th I bought him a tandem skydive? Well he has tried 4 different Saturdays to jump, but the weather has yet to cooperate. This past Saturday was no better, so instead he thought the entire family should take a turn in the wind tunnel. I was a little hesitant at first (of course I didn't let anyone think that) but in the end we ALL had a blast. Ms Lee was our instructor. She was Brittney's teacher last year, and you can tell she really enjoys her weekend job as well. She was all smiles with everyone & an excellent instructor. Kevin & Brittney had the most time in the wind tunnel ~ 4 turns approximately a minute each with me & Sophie having 2 turns. We were exhausted when we finished, and Ms Lee said that our time equalled between 4 to 6 jumps. WOW, not to bad for an old girl :-)

Ms Lee showed us what the proper form looked like. She did some flips, turns, and some knee flying. It was so cool!

Kevin was first to go, and he got some good air.

You can't skydive or wind-tunnel without funny faces being created. The video is even better, but it is 15 minutes long (too long to upload).

Brittney had natural form so Ms Lee was able to go 'no hands' quite a bit with Brittney

I'm not sure who was having more fun, Brittney or Ms Lee...

Look at all the air Brittney is getting...

Brittney's funny face :-)

Sophie walked right into the tunnel & got herself some air. She was so brave!

Here Sophie is all by herself ~ 'look mom, no hands from the instructor!'

Sophie never had any funny faces captured on film, but she had plenty of airborne pictures

Even I was able to get some air...

Not too bad for an old, out-of-shape girl :-)

Funny face by me...

When all is said & done, we had a blast and will probably do it again!
