Dan's been talking about doing a sky dive for the longest time now, so this year for his birthday I decided to up the ante and really surprise him (I've been a bit bad on the birthday presents for the past few years - I took him on holiday instead; Hong Kong, Deep South, New York. He doesn't seem to count them as presents though).
I have to say that I think the wrapping was the highlight for me - I got a helium balloon and one of those little parachute men, so when he opened the box the little man flew into the air.
He was supposed to jump yesterday and woke up like a child on Christmas Day, but after a few 'don't come yet, there's low lying cloud' texts it was finally called off. The weather wasn't looking great this morning either and we weren't sure if it would go ahead, but at 2pm we got the text, got on our bikes and cycled to St Kilda.
He loved it....
I did mess up the photos though - I didn't realise the DSLR was in manual so we have a bunch of blurry shots. Luckily we forked out for the official photo and videos...
