So the other day the boys and I drove to Twin to do some shopping, see Grandma Fran, and just get out of town for the night. We had a good time.
When we first got to town the boys wanted to go to the Toy Shop. (in Twin there is a really fun Toy Store there. Its even fun for adults) Anyway, I had some other shopping that I needed to do so I told the boys if u are good while I get a few things done then I will take you to the Toy Shop. And they did good so we made our way to the toy store! (I didn't realize this but Bry brought some of his own money from home and he wanted to buy something with it. He finally decided on a pair of hand cuffs. He said he wanted them cause he wanted to tease the neighbor kids. I was not surprised when he had decided on those cause that's so like him) Gotta love Bry's choice in clothing that day. Plaid with strips! What a combo. I have decided that I will pick my battles and that was not one of them that day. I asked him before we left home if he would go and change and he said "this is what I want to wear today!" Well at least he was dressed I guess.
Kode found lots of things that he liked but he didn't bring any money to buy anything and he was fine with that. He said he would rather save his money for something very important. Not sure what that is but that's what he said!
The next morning we decided to stop and see the snake river and take a walk around before we got in the car for our ride home. (really I was hoping to burn some energy then feed them some lunch and hope that they would sleep all the way home, and my plan worked out well) Anyway, while we were down checking out the snake river we took some pictures and then just as were going to leave we saw some guys jumping off of the bridge. Man there are some CRAZY people out there!! But it was cool to watch them!
right after I took this picture we saw our first jumper!
So we decided to stay for a bit and watch them some more. We moved to a different spot so we could get a better view! I am a little surprised that they were jumping cause it was kind of windy but there were a lot of them doing it!
these were some of the guys jumping (we talked to one guy and he said that they were there jumping on Saturday and again on Sunday. He was hoping to jump at least 10 times if not more! I guess they have contest later on in the year and the person who jumps off of the bridge and can glide in the air for so many seconds and then land in a certain spot on the ground wins. (The spot has an American flag and a bulls eye marked on it so they know exactly where to land.) Anyway, He didn't say what they win but it must be something worth risking your life for. It was interesting to see them do that. Its not something I would ever be doing, and I asked they boys if they would ever try that and they both said NO!
in this picture you can barley see the guy jumping. well he actually did a back flip off of the bridge and a few somersaults in the air before he pulled out his parachute. CRAZY!!
and then here he is just getting ready to land!
Anyway, all in all we had a good time! Mac had to work so he was not able to hang with us, but we still made the best of it!
