Bridge Jumping.

    I have hear about people bridge jumping since my first semester here in Idaho, but I had never had the opportunity to go. Also I have been to scared to go. Im not the biggest fan of heights. Well the past few days have been in the high 90's and all we have wanted to do was be in the water. So Monday our friends invited us to go bridge jumping and we took advantage of the opportunity to go with some more experienced jumpers (a.k.a locals). I was still super nervous because from the bridge it was a good 15 foot drop to the water. Everyone immediately started jumping with no problems so I figured I would be okay. I just got up and jumped I couldn't just stand there or else I would continue to psych myself out. It was such an adrenaline rush, I loved it!!!

    The jumps don't go without a few battle wounds. I somehow bruised the palm of my hand on impact, one of our friends over extended their flip and back flopped pretty hard and then the third time I jumped the pressure from the water was so hard that I ended up hurting my ear to the point where I thought I ruptured my ear drum. It was pretty bad later that night but luckily Nurse Anna diagnosed it as swimmers ear and a few over the counter ear drops and orange juice later I was totally fine. 

     So the next day we decided to go jumping again expect this time to a different bridge. The bridge was pretty much the same height as the one the day before. I didn't know if I was going to jump just because I didn't want to hurt my ear again, but I couldn't resist! So I took a few jumps, the water was like pool water and felt divine on such a hot day! I didn't get a video of me jumping but this is Matt and Kelly jumping on day 2. This gives you and idea of what the bridge and jump was like.

Then we ventured to Fun Farm, another bridge, which was a lot higher than all the ones we had been to. It was so scary. None of us wanted to jump but our friend Dane decided to show off his manhood and jump. Lets just say we were all thoroughly impressed! I got the jump on video as proof he actually did it! 

     We can all now say we have experienced the fun of Idaho Bridge Jumping.
