Tough as nails


About two years ago, Candice and I were the recipients of an amazing gift- 2 bungee jumps at one of worlds highest bungee jump sites.  It's about 450 ft jump over the Nevis river in New Zealand.  Candice was genuienly freaked out as most people would be.  Her body language and facial expressions before the jump were priceless.  At the end of the day, she faced her fears and actually loved every second of the jump, it's just the anticipation that's the killer.  Seems like most things in life are the same way.  Enjoy the vid and a special thanks to the McDonalds for such a rad gift.

Holy smokes!
That's awesome!

Is there a video of you doing it too, Matt?

Matt & Candice said...

Indeed there is but my jump is way less swan-like and I don't look as freaked out as she does. So, in other words, mine sucks.

I loved how nervous you looked because I'm pretty sure that you were the only one who was calm and collected when we went sky diving Mrs dare devil!!!

I was crazy nervous - obviously, it was a long way down! Too funny about the sky diving, I think it was because I had done it before...so great to hear from everyone!!! Thanks for checking in.

That might have been the longest fall I have ever seen.

Do the words Natural Selection mean any thing to you guy's. I must be a wimp.
I don't even participate in church sports because of the accident to risk ratios.
You guy's are amazing! Keep the premiums paid up..
