cliff jumping





Carter has been taking lots of video with his GoPro this summer.  On his list was to go to the high cliffs and jump the approximately 40 foot cliff.  He and Jared braved the climb up and made the jump.  Carter is the one holding the blue thing that is holding his GoPro.  Jared was very nervous and we saw his famous "I want to do this but I don't know if I can make myself" face.  After about 30 minutes and four jumps from Carter, Jared finally took the plunge.  I love when a child faces a fear head on. They both loved it and we have gone back and Jared has not hesitated to jump.  Carter got some great video and was able to finally jump with out screaming.  They said they felt like they were in the air forever. I love the last picture, of Jared, as he is just about to hit the water.  You can see his reflection in the water.  I bet if we zoomed in he would have his "I'm going to die" face.
