Dan’s just a little less afraid of heights than I am. Okay, a LOT less afraid. My in-laws have the opposite relationship – Mom is the daredevil, Dad is the worrier. So last Saturday my father-in-law and I sat home while Dan and his mom went bungee-jumping. This after many years of Dan and his Mom trying to convince their spouses that this was in fact safe. While I was still a little worried about the jumping, what I didn’t realize was that the hike to and from the jump site was actually far more dangerous. When they didn’t return to cell phone range until 2 ½ hours after dark, I (reasonably, I think!) became quite concerned. By God’s grace they all finally did make it home safely, but not without a lot of praying, and (honestly) a lot of worrying, on my part. They did have a fabulous time, enjoyed their jumps and endured the hikes, but this is one wife who is hoping the bungee bug won't bite again anytime soon.

I read that, and look at those pictures in disbelief. Not that Dan would do it, but that mom-in-law would. Amazing!
Your title and opening picture definitely intrigued me to read on because I really couldn't imagine you bungee jumping.
OMG! I would have been having a heart attack as well! Glad they both made it back safely!
That doesn't even remotely look like fun. Bungee jumping is the one reason I will never apply to be on the Amazing Race. Not a big fan of heights!
