Be still my heart. Kendall decided to go back for her second skydive. The instructor, Chris, offered to do a 'working' tandem with her to see how she would like it. He spent some time instructing her on what to do. Ultimately, she had to read the altimeter and pull the shoot when it was time. Of course, he would be there the whole time and guide her every step of the way.
This is Kendall realizing what she had gotten herself into.
Her interview before boarding the plane.  She was definitely more nervous this time around.
At one point, I thought she might back out, but she went for it.  Afterwards, she informed me that she did a lot of deep breathing on the way up.
Once they headed for the runway, dad and I took the little yellow school bus to the drop zone.
We could see them the minute they left the plane.  We cheered loudly when we saw the chute deploy.  Then they took their sweet time landing, enjoying the view.
It was pretty awesome.  She jumped with the owner and the other instructor.  They waited for her to touch down and congratulated her.
The whole team at Skydown is awesome.  They are so professional and very encouraging.
