On Robyn's birthday in May, Stacy "gave" her a tandem flight in his paraglider. It's taken us 'til October to get it done, but last Saturday, Robyn finally got to fly!
She had to wait a while up on the hill while Stacy took a test flight to make sure all the conditions were good. And, of course, she had to get all her gear on.
But finally everything was ready, and they took off. The take-off was a little rough, but they got up alright, and then stayed up for almost an hour and a half!
She said it was super cool. She loved it! Her only complaint was that it was cold. And I believe it. It was cold just standing on top of the hill. So if she ever goes again, she's going to wear a heavy jacket and gloves. But she's certainly hoping there will be a next time. She's officially got it in her blood now.

Wow! She is brave. It does look super fun though, - relaxing, mind-clearing, etc. I guess peaceful if a bit frightening. Fun.
What an amazing experience. I can't believe you let her go. What a cool mom!! Sure miss you guys and book club!
