I am SO glad that we were able to see Nick in action. It was truly breathtaking to see it all happen. I can't express how proud I am of my husband! He is simply amazing.
The soldiers ready to board the plane and make the first fly over
The plane flew off, turned around, and then came back to make the first pass. It was so amazing and exhilarating (and scary!!) to see the first soldier jump.
The boys were awe struck when the saw the soldiers leap out of the plane. We all started screaming and cheering when we saw the first parachute open. Wow!!
Nick is somewhere in the middle

Proud family picture with our paratrooper! Yay Nick! We are so proud of you!

The boys looked so awe struck! Susan said "it looks so scary!" haha.
That is so cool! I bet the boys (and mommy too) were so proud of their daddy! So neat that you all were able to see him jump!
Way to go Nick! I love the photo of the boys watching in awe, and the great family picture too!
It really was amazing, you guys. I feel like my heart stopped for a moment when I saw the first black figure jump out of the plane, and then my heart started going again when the parachute opened. Whew!! So cool! So scary! And I'm glad I'm NOT the one doing it!! :) The boys can talk about nothing else now, and have been practicing jumping off the couch with their own "parachutes." Arg!!
yes, with boys, you will probably see improvised 'sheet' chutes very soon. if you guys go to watch the toy drop this fall, it is amazing to watch!!! the golden knights usually perform and that is a lot of fun to see.... except one guy drops in with a red suit and long beard. my youngest was perplexed over that one.
