Dear Sky Dive Sebastian,
You were amazing. I don't even really know how to describe you as an experience in words beyond that. And you're so exciting, that even my dad took the plunge out of the plane with us, despite the fact that it could have made the "watch my neck" line way more legendary (and actually now that I think of it, maybe it did). He's a true adventurer - like father, like daughter and son.
Also - Michael would like to thank you for the sweet landing.
Why didn't anyone warn me not to wear a v-neck shirt while skydiving with a harness as a push-up device?
Busty
*bear with the number of photos, want to convey this experience in all its glory
**am trying to figure out how to convert the video to a file that I can put up here
***yes, my instructor was the best looking, and it wasn't even on purpose (better than our surfing lesson, huh, cass?)

 as those of you who know him could imagine, his first response to the camera when they asked him how he felt while he was sitting on the ground like this was to throw his fists into the air and yell, "woooooooooooooooooo" in his signature woo voice

I'm just glad you didn't leave out the shot of my gut hanging out... No photo shoot would be complete with out it... And thank you on a serious note for not including a picture of my landing...
