Hooked On Indoor Skydiving!

We do the coolest things!  Last week an indoor skydiving facility opened here in DFW. There’s only a dozen around the world so we were thrilled to try it out.  It’s the floating sensation like the free fall in skydiving, but it’s only a few feet off the ground and there’s a guy standing there making sure you are floating right and having a blast. The whole surface area and wind speed physics thing is amazing. A guy stands next to you while you are floating on air! They adjust the air speed for each person’s weight and skill level. We got to watch experienced jumpers and they do all kinds of tricks and spins.  I had the best time! We had a few hesitant members come watch instead of jump and they are all going to try it next time. It’s not at all scary like jumping out of a plane. It’s awesome! After we grabbed lunch and we dished on how we felt and the tricks we want to learn when we do it again. I am definitely hooked on indoor skydiving. Events And Adventures Dallas

New Member Takes A Big Leap!

Less than 24 hours ago, I attended my first Events and Adventures activity. Being the adventurous sort, I dove head first into Trapeze class with about 18 other members. When I wasn't perched on the edge of a 20ft high board ready to swing in the air, I was sharing great conversations and admiring others' techniques with a crowd of well-wishers. We were all there to have fun, and had a great time because of that fact. Everyone was friendly and nice, making our circus lesson one of a kind. Together, we were all flying high! Written by Cassie, a new member in Dallas....GO CASSIE!

Another Awesome E&A Trip Coming Up!

Can't wait to hang out with over 40 of my E&A friends on the 18th Annual Events and Adventures Whistler Ski Trip. We will be leaving on Thanksgiving, but will get there in time for a wonderful Thanksgiving feast with our E&A family. We will be staying in the Village for easy access to Chairlifts and Gondolas for some AWESOME skiing during the day and all the nightlife at night! We let you know how it all turns out, but if it is anything like past years there will be much to talk about!

Something Else To Cross Off The Bucket List!

The E&A Skydive was amazing!  The 60 second free-fall full of spins and twists rivals no other thrill! 

  

I even got to pull the rip      cord for my chute......                     What a ride! 

 
  

  Then gently float to the
   earth below with a few
           more spins …
   and the perfect landing
     … awesome hardly
             describes it!

How does a woman over 30 make new friends?

Guys can walk into a bar, watch a game and walk out with 2 new friends and a golf game planned for Saturday.  Women, we are more self conscious.  It’s hard to make friends. We aren’t willing to share with strangers.  When we move someplace new or get a new job with new co-workers or get divorced, our lives change. We often lose our local support system.  How do you replace it? Events & Adventures does just that. I was new to town and recently single. Attending events I always wanted to try but my ex wasn’t interested in allowed me to meet women who have similar interests as me. After you see people repeatedly and you get to know them and start hanging out outside the club. You carpool. You pet sit for each other. You gradually build friendships.  I’ve met some cool chicks. I’ve made great friends.  Most the local friends in my phone I met through E&A. Yeah, I still tell my woes to my best friend from college, but when I need to help me drown my sorrows, tell me “Those jeans fit great” or cheer “Come on! You can climb that! We’ll do it together” I turn to my new E&A friends who have become just as cherished as my old growing-up friends. Here’s to new forever friends! Events And Adventures Dallas

New Member Ice Breaker and Trampoline Dodgeball!

Last Saturday we started the night off with our New Member Icebreaker and the new members had a ball competing in the People Bingo game. All it took was one member whose birthday was in November for a brand new member to yell “BINGO”. Poor Brad thought one of the new members was getting fresh when she asked him if he’d ever been skinny dipping. He was disappointed when she quickly turned her attention to the next person. After our winner did her happy dance we hit the trampolines for an amazing evening of trampoline dodgeball.  It was funny as the existing members came in and were greeted by cheers of “fresh meat” by all those already there and a lot of laughter was shared. Since we had the place to ourselves we took over the back trampoline area and had a giant dodge ball game.  Whew! Talk about tiring. But it was a great work out!
