when i posted some of the pictures of the girls jumping off the rocks at the cabin … i mentioned that you'd have to go back a few years to see any pictures of me doing it. i can assure you that i did do it on the last trip … which was 3 years ago. anyways … a few of you asked what it would take to get me to post some of those pictures. of course i answered that i'd have to find pics … and then would have to actually figure out how to scan them in. and that would never happen … because let's face it … i can be lazy when i want. lol! however … my mom isn't quite so lazy about that kind of thing. so she did the work for me … and now i have to share!

that's me … 14 years ago! i wasn't expecting pictures that far back … that is a LONG time ago. lol!

Scan0101

i know … i'm so graceful. lol! and for some reason, i feel the need to clarify that we always wore jean shorts, shirts, and tennis shoes in all our jumping activities … because you have to climb your way back out after jumping. lol! not that means anything … just might explain why i looked fully clothed while jumping in a river.

this was the year we had a huge family group at the cabin. and this was one of our many group jumps. that is my brother at the very top … that is jump #6, which is insanely high up (and i never did!). i think the rest of us are jumping off #3 or #4.

Scan0017  

and that, my friends … is grammy! i can't be totally sure (mainly because i already forgot what she told me) … but i think that is her jumping off of #6.

another reason i don't mind posting these? no one is around here on the weekend anyways, right?!?! lol! i can tell … because my blog stats go down by half the normal amount. so this way … not as many of you will see these … or at least i can hope!

    LOL!!! These are great. Thanks for posting these, so much fun. I was wondering why you were all clothed. Makes sense! Your numbers may be down cause you never blog on the weekends.

    I’m here this weekend. I was not kidding when I told you that I read your blog ever single night.
    Great photos! You should be proud that you have kept these memories. I am very impressed that you made these jumps. I don’t think I could have ever done it.
    Have a groovy weekend.

    Amazing what we’re capable of when we’re young, huh? I definitely would have jumped off anytime before I was 40..now, at 44 with 2 little boys…umm, I’m afraid to admit that rollercoasters get under my skin and I just sit by the sidelines…I thought that having kids later on in life is supposed to keep you young? Those 2 little hooligans have aged me!!
