We've been getting updates every couple of days. So he decided to go Bungie Jumping. Off a Bridge! 104 feet high WITHOUT HIS MOTHER!!! I'm so jealous of that one, Ya, I know I'm crazy. So here is an excerpt from my Mom's email about it and a pic from her IPhone. Dylan is the small spot in the middle.
"this morning we were supposed to take a helicopter ride to Milford Sound, but the rain caused some problems. So we changed the itinerary and the guide took us around the area. We went up to Arrowtown, met a local artist (who is actually from Montana) and then we headed for the bridge where the bungie jumping started. The guide was able to get Dylan on the schedule, so we watched him jump! The bridge is 140 feet above the river. He did it! He will probably talk about the experience for the rest of his life. He has been walking around town with the T shirt that only the jumpers get and people are commenting on it. I'm sure he was the youngest jumper of the day (Grandpa signed the consent form). We bought the still photo's and the DVD of the jump so he can share it with all of you. and I got pictures with the burst so you can see him all the way down. "
Dylan called us after to tell us about it. Cell phones are great! I guess after you stop bouncing up and down you grab a pole the raft guy has and he pulls you into the raft and unhooks you to take you back. You can see the raft better than Dylan in the pic, but did you notice he had the ankle harness on, NOT the body harness. What a Cool Kid I have! When they get home, I'll share more pics and the video.
