July the second was the best day of my life not only because it was my birthday but also because it was the day me and my friend went parachuting. My mum and dad got the parachutes and the parachuting gear on a discount because they work in the army.

Mum and dad said I could invite one friend to go with me and I picked my best friend Hannah.S

we were in rolleston putting on the gear to go parachuting . The parachutes were really heavy but we could lift them. Hannah and I were a bit scared but I told Hannah that we would be alright.

We arrived in Burnham Army Camp, we parked our car and headed over to were the helicopter was. When we hoped in the helicopter it started flying up and up and up till we were higher than the clouds.

Being on the helicopter was kind of scary but we didn't really care I was just happy that my mum and dad would do this for me. Maka my brother was kind of a show off when he back flipped of the plane and started singing "I am the champion I am the champion" at that point I stopped paying attention to him and told Hannah that we had to jump together seaming we were both newbies at it.

We jumped and we fell we fell we fell and we fell until we pulled the parachute after that point we started gliding down. I sucked at my landing and broke my leg but I didn't care I was just happy that Hannah was ok
