the knack of flying…

April 19, 2009

So we have been promising Miss C that she could go and try the BigAir BUNGY in the Wellington waterfront….
its one of those multiple bungy cords attached to a harness (in which the jumper is secured) super-boosts the traditional trampoline experience
giving a gravity-defying ride which has all the adrenaline of bungy jumping.

you can jump up to eight metres in the air off a trampoline, looking down on the crowd from more than two storeys up….
all the jumpers are secured and safe in their adjustable purpose-built harness, they are free to experiment with acrobatic movements
or to simply jump as high as they can.

Every single time we drove passed the waterfront she always point to the bungy and said “mummy i wanna try that and jump up high in the air!”
well we have managed to hold off taking her until yesterday.

So we went to the waterfront yesterday afternoon…and she was so excited and a bit nervous too when we were lining up
but after her first jump she forgot all about her fear and LOVIN every minute of it!!

well im a total wuss when it comes to anything to do with heights…so you can’t pay me to do this….but apparently she wants to go again next week…lol
we took video camera there as well but here are some of the pics from her big jumping and flying experience…

here she is on her first jump preparing to take off…
