Here's some wakeboarding pictures!  Jesse in the boat, evidently happy as he lets you look at the "O" on his Oakley Straight Jackets.  Luke is on the board and I think he is cold.  This was taken on Sept 18th, 2000
"I gotta do that again!!!"
This is Luke again on the wakeboard.  The background is blurry due to the intense speed of travel.......or maybe because it was just a cheap carmera.
Here's Luke coming in for the final approach on the first jump.  We jumped twice that day.  Both were static jumps from a Cessna 182 at 3000 feet.
Here's Luke.  Still high in the sky on the adrenaline rush.  This was about the time that he realized that this could easily become an addiction. 
SKYDIVING IS AN EXPERIENCE BEYOND DESCRIPTION!!
Here's Sarah, Anna, Anders, Luke and Brenda just prior to our second jump.
Anders Johansson a happy man in his jump suit.  Why is he so happy?  He's looking forward to the beautiful free fall he's about to do.  Anders has many jumps behind him
Wakeboarding
Arch, one-thousand....
Two, one-thousand......

This was part of the training time prior to the first jump.  This exercise was to help practice our jump from the wing of the airplane.
Here's Jesse on his "picture perfect" first landing.  When the chute is flared like that, you can land just about as softly as you can get out of bed.  The chutes are very steerable and just a total party to fly.
After skydiving, you have first hand knowledge of why the birds sing!  Yeah....but you gotta wonder what the birds think when they see us trying to fly around with these awkward kites.  "What are the humans up to this time?"
Anna, Tamara and Lacey were three of our photographers for the day.  Sarah also took alot (maybe most) of these pictures.

See the world through Brenda's eyes - 3000ft above the ground and holding on two the strut of the wing about to put a lot of faith in the pack on her back.  She's lovin' every minute of it.
This was one of our favorite jumps at Steven's Pass, Washington.  I love the color of the sky.  It's the deepest blue ever.  Yeah.

Cliff Jumping!
Cliff jumping is almost as great as skydiving.

This is a jump from our favorite spot up in Anacortes, Washington.

This is Luke again, trying a swan dive from the tree.

We jump the cliffs here from 15 feet to 60 feet

This is about 30 feet.

Rock Climbing
This is Zane Brown climbing at one of our favorite spots.  Mount Eerie. Rock climbing allows you to put yourself safely in situations that you would never otherwise be in, and it can be a real rush.  A break from the ordinary at least.
