So you see it was mid 30's for me. As far as being to old to play aggressively, GET A GRIP!!! I can still play as good as anyone at the DZ and at home. And my kids are getting the experience that can teach them how to have way more fun than most thier age. Skydiving, explosives, and guns, how much more fun can a kid have. Of course I hope that I am teaching how to love and share of themselves also but only time will tell. As for the pic, here you go...

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Bodyflight.Net 0 #49 February 3, 2004 QuoteThe upside . . . aside from being young enough to still play with them rather aggressively (water fights, video games, wrestling, etc.) is that when my youngest turns 18 and goes off to college, I will be 41 years old. My wife will only be 44. Plenty young enough to have fun doing all the things we want to do. Here Here I say! I will be 39 when our youngest turns 18, and I couldn't agree more. Although I was too young really to start, I can't think of a better way than to grow up with them. It really helps to bridge the gaps I've seen in so many parent/child relationships. She knows I'm learning too, and we're not perfect, she also has learned many values that I believe she wouldn't have gotten if we had "plenty of money" I think that the flip side is stability as you get older with finances etc, but hey, I say.. stable isn't always fun!
