Hot Air Balloon (#20)
I got to go in a hot air balloon with Mom up in Aspen last week. It was GORGEOUS! And we also saw some bears, deer, and elk while we were flying around. Not nearly as cool as skydiving though. Haha...I guess I should have done those in reverse order.

Skydiving! (#2 on life list)
My first Tandem Skydiving Experience with Mile High Skydiving in Longmont, CO. It was AMAZING!! I fell at speeds up to 130 mph for a minute of freefall and then parachuted down for about 4-5 minutes. My skydiving instructor Brendan let me "steer" the parachute around too. Jeff and Kate made the jump with me....so awesome to have people to share the experience with. This was definitely one of the coolest things I've ever done. I feel like I can do anything now!
