Two recent bridge jumping outing.
Benjamin surprised me by jumping several times on this first outing.  My best guess is that the bridge is about 12 feet from the water.


Of course Jacob was all over the bridge...jumping and hanging.

Joseph so badly wanted to jump.  He probably walked up there a dozen different times, got out there and eventually talked himself out of it.



More of Jacob...between both trips, he probably jumped 40 times.

Some older boys trying to encourage Joseph on the second trip.

JR joined us for the second trip.  It was so funny.  He would not jump from the bridge but he would hang and drop in.  I tried to tell him the difference was only 5 feet.

JR was trying to talk Benjamin into going out and hanging with him.

The guy on top of the bridge was crazy (probably an additional 15 feet)

He did a back flip off.  The one on the right was our neighbor.  He climbed up and jumped several times.

The guy would also run across the bridge and swan dive over the wire.  One the first trip, we watched a guy do that.  However, before he dove, he did not look over the bridge.  We watched the other guy dive off and he literally came about 2 inches from slamming his head into another swimmers back.  Scary moment just watching a near collision, that could have been fatal.
