A few years ago I wanted to jump off the cliff on our lake at the cottage, but I chickened out. But, this weekend I decided the time was right and I took the leap.The cliff looks about 10 feet high when you're in the water looking up at them, but when you stand at the top and look down they look about 30 feet high! In reality they're only about 16 feet high. There is something to be said for the positive impact of peer pressure though. I certainly had more personal motivation to make the jump this time, but all the people sitting up there and the three other boat loads (in addition to our boat full of my family), certainly would have made it harder to back out.
The first jump was so much fun that I went back up and jumped again. Now that the fear of the unknown is out of the way, I can just have fun and make a splash!
Christina, my granddaugher-in-law took these photos of me, using my camera.
My grandson Josh also jumped, but he went from the highest part of the cliffs (this probably is about 30 feet high) and he jumped with a lot more style, doing a full turn on the way down! This was only one of Josh's four jumps.
Wonderful fun shots, and you are very brave!
