Soaring On The Bungee

You all might remember Briana's first experience on a bungee about four years ago. She was two and completely fearless. 

At 6, she still is fearless. There is something about flying in the air that puts Miss B at ease. It doesn't put me at ease, but it does for her. She went on the bungee twice at the fair.

I like to head over to the bungee when there really isn't anyone waiting in line. Bri gets more attention that way. The operators always seem to sense that she is fearless, so they pull her down and spring her up so she can get more height. This operator asked her if she wanted to try to flip. She did the first time she went on, but it was really the second time that she started getting the hang of it.

Here is her first go...

And this was her second go. She flipped over and over and over again. The sun was just going behind the clouds in these shots and it made for really beautiful pictures...

Here is some video of Briana on the bungee...





The next day, Briana kept complaining her stomach hurt. I thought she was saying that she had an upset stomach, but she was hungry and eating ok. Then she said, "No mama, when I do this (stretching herself), it hurts."

I figured out her stomach muscles were sore from flipping. It takes all those muscles to get yourself to flip over and over like that.

If Briana doesn't become a fashion designer (which I really think she might end up doing one day), she might end up in a job where she can hurtle herself into the sky.
