This is NOT a picture of my daughter, but it could be if only I had a helicopter. I've blogged about her love for all things daredevilish before--in fact, about this specific thing. It's what she was up to on Memorial Day. Danger and no cell phone reception; two of my least favorite things!

Holy mother jeebus.
In Duluth, there are scads of teens jumping head first into swimming pools, and it makes me screamy. It's all I can do not to beller, "Have you NEVER seen someone with a traumatic brain injury?"
Then I realize part of maturation is surviving youth.

Yes, we have gorges and rock jumpers like that here and somebody died a week or 2 ago. Golly, KIDS!

Gah!

Funny, there is a part of me that sees that picture and says "Ooh! I want to do that!", while another part of me says, "That is just crazy!" The knowledge that comes with age is a good thing, but probably sometimes keeps us from having fun!

THat wild child! She's keeping your blood pumping!

So am I the only one thinking that jumping that high with a bikini on may not be the best idea, either. I have visions of the top and the girl going their separate ways.
Just one more thing you have to learn by experience?

My heart dropped seeing that photo. :) She is a free spirit....what can you do???

It makes me want to throw up just thinking about it!

Oh that looks beautiful - my kinda place. Not that I would be up for that jump. Well.... maybe.
