Father and son students

[dthames 0]

Saturday, our local DZ opened for the first time in several weeks for a wonderful day of jumping. Of 10 pre-solo students that I counted, 8 of the students were father and son pairs. I was one of the students that was by himself. My boys are grown and out of state. So, doing this together is not really an option right now.

I think most of them managed to be on the same load as their family member. LOTS of smiles. Wonderful weather. It was great to see.

Aw, that's nice! I've jumped with my son twice when he did tandems and it was such a special experience for us. I know others here have jumped with their kids too. Definitely a fun activity to do together!

I filmed my older son on a tandem, my daughter on two tandems, my two step sons on tandems, and have done about a hundred jumps with my youngest son. It is really great jumping with the kids!

Although I wasn't there when another father and son started skydiving together, they were already experienced jumpers when I met them, but I got to enjoy a bunch of CRW jumps with both of them.

Billy - aren't there father/son students in your daughter's kindergarten class? I mean, it is Alabama.

No, but I did notice one kid was quite a bit bigger than the rest of the class...
