Our kids used to jump from the garage roof (even the
house roof) in the winter...when the snow piles were
7 1/2 feet high! <>g<>

This reminds me slightly of something my three boys did one time. I was cleaning up some stuff and found some polaroid photos that showed them in the air (kind of like doing skateboard tricks, but I could see the roof of the house so, they were clearly not leaping UP!)
When my oldest son (who was in one of the photos) got home, I asked him what on earth these were. He sheepishly told me that one time, when they had been left at home (him babysitting--he was in 8th or 9th grade!) for several hours, they decided it would be *cool* to jump off the roof (2 story house, but they could climb out my bathroom window onto the one story sunroom roof). They put every pillow and blanket and sofa cushion etc they could find and spent the afternoon jumping off the roof onto the cushions while one of them took pictures.
I never thought they were particularly dumb kids, and maybe it's just boys, but I was flabbergasted that they would do something like that. Yikes.... (and yes, they are all seemingly normal today, altho two of them are musicians, so go figure). sundero
