What We Did for Christmas This Year - Part 2!






Rick and Kevin enjoyed a round of golf at Dubai Creek Golf and Country Club on Christmas Eve day while Brianne and I did the pedicure/manicure and shopping thing.

Christmas Eve was spent at a Polynesian Restaurant...all you can eat and drink international buffet (including turkey!) Brianne was asked for ID but not Kevin (which really annoyed Brianne. ) The group of four dancers/singers kept us entertained for three hours. Brianne and Kevin each took their turn dancing with the band! We have video evidence.

For many years, Brianne has talked about a sky-diving expedition. To our surprise when she booked one for Christmas Day, Kevin also agreed to go. He was the first one up and out of the plane. The jump was tandem with a very qualified, former military dude. It was a beautiful sunny afternoon and the thrill of the weekend for both. Rick and I stayed planted on the ground and watched. They both said the view was incredible and the rush of getting ready to leap from the plane left them both speechless. Kevin tried to convince us to try it, but 3500 ft in the balloon was high enough for us. The jump was from 9000 feet....too high for these old bones!

Kevin leaves for home on the 26th....the rest of us will follow sometime early in the new year.

Happy New Year

Rick and Mare = Cowards

Send your own children to leap out of a plane from thousands of feet up, yet you're too chicken to do it yourselves?

Guys, if you ever get the chance, do the leap yourselves ..., it's a rush of a life time.

Kudos to Brianne and Kevin for mustering up the courage to do the leap. It's such a rush, isn't it? A thrill you'll never forget.

Cheers to you all,

George
