kids either look forward to it from day one or they fear it.
finn could hardly wait and the day finally arrived.
i wasn't able to be there but c was and he said he didn't hesitate.
as instructed, he held his fins out to his sides, raised them above his head and jumped.
he said was a 'little' bit scary but more exciting!
here he is, the one and only finn oliver:
i was so grateful there was a photographer who was in the water snapping photos of the kids
jumping. these are scans of printed copies but they do the job. i only wish there was one from
the top of the pier looking down into the water...that would show the distance down these kiddos
jumped {which is quite impressive}
i learned the photographer is there every summer, so next year we'll get scout doing his very first
jump too. he was so quite disappointed the 'grommet' guards {7 and 8 year olds}, weren't allowed to do the jump. i tell him to be patience...he'll be up there next year.
mr. gerber just shared this video clip of finn. he was there!
oh to be a kid again!
