Sky Diving

Not me, so don't get worried!! It was Grant. He said for his birthday this year that he would like to go skydiving, but every time he made arrangements the weather turned out bad. Anyway it was while Leanne was out in May that he ended up going. It was the 3 May 2008 and we drove up to Pietermaritzburg airport for him to dive at about 1pm. When we got there we sat around for a bit and then his instructor (he was going tandem with Grant) gave him a run down of what he had to do. He had to dress in a particular outfit - looked like overalls! and then we went to the airport area. He got onto a small aeroplane and up he went. It was quite an amazing feeling watching my son jump from an aeroplane. Nevertheless he landed safely and you could just see from his face that he was on a serious adrenaline high. He said he definitely wants to do this again.

In May I went on a 2 day scrapathon and the colours for two of the layouts were perfect for doing Grant's skydiving pictures. He has been bugging me for not having put his pictures on my blog, so here are the layouts I did:

Lovely layouts Michelle. I am sure Grant and his friends will be excited about these layouts you did for him. The lime green and orange colours complements each other beautifully. I see at least Grant gets preference over and above the BOM challenge?
