OMG! My Daughter Went Skydiving! Mokuleia Hawaii

Doooorrriiiiiiiiii

~~~~~~~~

If you just want to HANG AROUND go to the Dillingham Air Field on the North Shore of Oahu and do the Skydiving thing.

Dillingham Airfield was fully utilized during World War II. Over the years it was an Army Air Field and an Air Force Air Field and finally closed but used for civil use in the 1970's.

In a joint agreement with the military and the State of Hawaii it continued civil use and in the late 1990's until present there are the skydiving and sailplane rides. The gliders and many private aircraft are based here as well.

Now, back to the title. Yup, that's my daughter skydiving. Did she tell me she was going first? Nope. She's about 90 pounds so you gotta know that she NEEDED someone to hold on to her lol! Below is Kaena Point on the North Shore of Oahu and right before it is Dillingham Airfield.

Any one of you who is a parent knows what it's like to worry about your kid. ....No matter how old they get...they're still your babies. At least I still feel like that.....especially when they're quite a ways up in the air...in the clouds and just 'hanging around' up there.

So....enjoy the show.....Dori up in the clouds :)

Oh my god that looks like so much fun! I would love to do that!!!!

Hi Sally,

Its a good thing she didn't tell you first! LOL! She looks like a pro...no fear. :)

Sally, I can say two things for your daughter, one, she has guts! Looks like a lot of fun and a very gutsy move. And two, she must care for you very much. She didn't want you to worry or worse, have a heart attack. Mike

Woo-Hoo: You have a brave (and beautiful) daughter! I have a son like that (brave or stupid, I don't really know). In fact, two of my three have paidto JUMP FROM A PLANE. They don't get it from ME I can tell you. Remember the old show with Mr. T and how he had to be drugged to be put on a plane? WELL, I'd have to be drugged and PUSHED from a plane. Kids to bless us.

Sally, Yep. That's a smile. ;0) It looks fun, but no way. Huh, uh. Nope. LOL. I do bet that the view is unbelievable from up there though!

She looks really relaxed and unconcerned about any danger! She is having a good time. This could be classified as one of "A Mother's Worst Fear"s

Sally, my wife always told me that if I wanted to skydive I'd have to do that before we got married. So I guess I lost my chance. Though, since we've been married, I've gone whitewater rafting on Class 5 rapids, gone up in a WW-I open cockpit airplane and done acrobatic maneuvers in the sky, run a marathon, and some other daring adventures. Good thing she went before telling you -- I can imagine you would not have been thrilled about "letting" her go.

Very cool....I hear your'e going up there next.

Sally, she'll never get low life insurance rates again LOL. Glad everything was safe but I see how you might worry. I one time took a helicopter ride when my mother wasn't looking. Kids will be kids.

Sally, No way, not me. As a mother I would have probably passed out!!!! LOL

Mana: Yeah...they say stuff after the fact after they get older. Darn. Parenting duties no more lol!

Gary: LOL....No kidding. I think I'd throw up LOL.

Neal: Uh...not me.....Tell you what...I'll go if you do :)

Brian: Goodness...you still are doing things...then again..you're still a kid :)

Shirley: No kidding! When do we stop worrying about out adult children? ;)

Steph: I'm paranoid of airplanes...let alone without one :)

Kat: Yup...they PAID to jump....go figure...I can think of doing better things than peeing my pants in the clouds LOL

Mike: Okay...I'll buy that. She sure had a big smile. Steph told me that it's gravity...but after looking at the guy I think not. She was having a ball!

Suzanne: Yeah, yeah. Moms. You're one..you know :)

Monika: I bet you would...you appear to be the type...I can just see you and Jay spray painting the sky on the way down with love notes :)

Sally, my oldest son took his perfectly good body that I brought into this world and jumped it right out of an airplane, not once but 3 times. He didn't tell me before he did it...just brought home a video of his first jump to see my reaction. Then he laughed his butt off at the horror on my face! I completely understand how you feel.

Lisa; Punks....he laughed his butt off at the horror on your face. They're real funny aren't they? LOL!

Sally at 90 pounds she does not need a parachute ......... LOL

NOPE no way in my life time would anyone ever catch me jumping out of a plain :) :)

My Goodness, Sally, what a post! It's better that she didn't tell you until she was safely back on the ground, you would have been frantic. I went up in a hot air balloon and that's about as high up as I'm going--without a plane :)

Sally:

OMG, that would freak me out to know one of my daughters was going skydiving. But I have to say i have thought about doing so myself. :) Guess you were glad to not find out beforehand, huh!?

Jeff

George: No kidding! You know, when she was little she used to dream about flying around the room and stuff. I thought she was funny....now look at her! Me either George...must be the growing older thing :)

Carole: I'm having a problem with heights anyway. I think so too....she's a cutie pie....I can just see her in the clouds....squeaching "Wheeeeeeee"!

Jeff: No kidding! I love looking at the pictures...with her in the clouds...not me though...Nope...I like my feet planted on the ground.

OMG! I would kill my daughter if she did that without telling me! I would hate being left out! LOL.

Now who took all the pictures?

Sally- If you went skydiving you might just overcome your fears and be thankful you were in a Plane with walls around you LOL :) Seriously Dori looks like she's having a ball....

I am sure that if you posted, you could take up a collection for your skydiving lesson. What do you think gang, $1 each to see Sally jump out of a plane? Great picture.

Sally, my hands were sweating when I watched that. Gee, I would not have wanted to know either, but heck that smile on her face is unbelievable.

Sally, Momma says no! What can you do...I'm like Missy....she has to do her own thing. Don't you just hate when they grow up and can make their own decisions....actually it's all good...all parts. I think you get closer when they start making their own decisions and it's a good time when you are her friends that she comes to talk to and get advice....who would have ever thought it would actually happen. Love the video as always.

Lisa: She's a brave little one for sure! I can see you do that...not me though.

Kathy: Thanks...reassuring .....NOT.

Fred: No collections. I can see me going into shock :)

Missy: Okay. Good. Someone who feels like I do. LOL!

Jeanean: No kidding! I know and accept....after the fact :) Thanks!

very very kewl... these are the things we don't tell mom and dad till AFTER we've done them.... thanks for sharing

Dez: Can you imagine...a little peanut flying around up there :)

Sally- I have NO desire to ever do that! Glad she loved it. She looked like she loved it. I would be scared to death to watch my kids do that.

Hi Sally,

Wow, what an experience. Thankfully she didn't tell you first. I know you would have worried, I sure would have! She sure loks like she is enjoying every minute of it.

I have never understood why someone would jump out of a perfectly good airplane???????? Maybe for my 65th birthday I will try it what do you think.

I am sure she had fun doing it tho, aren't kids great?

Don R.

Sally~ If any of my four children ever did that, they need NOT tell me first because I would rather NOT know until after the fact either! I don't think I could ever do that, I mean heck I wouldn't even go Parasailing in Cancun, so I KNOW I wouldn't do it either!

Vickie: No kidding, huh? Mine know me already...tell mom after.

Don: I will be 51 shortly....and I don't want to get my hair windblown, my bra flying past my head...and gravity going the other way...hahaha.

Hal: Oh...I'm sure she was enjoying....that little girl enjoys whatever she chooses to do....she's a go getter and I am proud....

Katerina: Same here!

Sally - My kids have never even mentioned anything like that - I worry enough when my son goes with his buddies hiking in the woods and they manage to get themselves lost - thank heaven he told me about it weeks later -

B/B: leave it to kids to tell us.....way after :)

My brother has done that twice, me - NO WAY. It was a big thing when I went on a GIANT swing in Orlando, FL (I forget how many stories high, something like five to seven stories high I think) with him, but jumping out of plane goes a bit too far for me.

This is one of those things i've been dying to do for a looooong time!

I think I need to get my rear in gear......

Wow - nice video. That made it look easy - the skydiving part.

Ronald: Me too....I guess kids are carefree and all that...

Marc: Well, you just go have fun...and share pics too!

Georgina: Yeah..my daughter tends to be happy go lucky. :)

HOLY COW! I really want to try this out, but I think I will have to wait a few years as I want to skydive with my wife, and we have a couple little ones right now. Thanks for the pics!

I love skydiving. I used to skydive in the nineties, have about 800+ jumps. Still miss it and dream about it, but wouldn't do it any more (unless somebody really twisted my arm). ~Rita
