Agreed! That is what she was going to do but her hubby put it on Facebook so she thought she better tell me before I read it there. Lol

This reminded me: For my 60th I got a certificate to go on a hot air balloon ride. I decided not to tell my 80 y/o mother because she'll only worry to death. I'll send her pictures afterwards.

Definitely a good plan! Have fun!

I parachuted when I was in college--my mother told me to NOT tell her the date--just call her afterwards. My father wrote the only letter to me he ever wrote--trying to talk me out of it because I didn't have insurance at the time.

I did get hurt--but just a little.

If my kids do that, I'll duck tape them to a chair!

Now why didn't I think of that?? Oh yea, they are in New Zealand...and I might have been able to wrestle my daughter to the ground to do so, but my DSIL is 6 foot 4....

Me, too. And Karla. Looks like we have a little skydiving group here!

I swear, if I get too close to a bungee zone, I'll just have to jump and I really don't want to!! The thought alone makes me sick.

Do you have pictures of your DD jumping? I'd love to see, even it makes my palms and the soles of my feet sweat to look at them. Ah, to be young again....

Here is the video she posted on youtube. There is a lot of just waiting in the beginning so please forgive that, but let me tell you, it made me sick just waiting for it...even though it was after the fact :hunf:

Hmm--that kind of looks like fun. I dind't realize how much stuff one had to wear to do that.

How about it!? Wonder if all that weight makes you bounce higher? :)

Looks like she was having fun! I'm glad she's okay and you survived it, too.
