Fairy BASE Jumping

Our ever-inventive children, inspired by our recent viewing of the Banff Mountain Film Festival, have just developed a new sport: Fairy BASE jumping. This is the trailer for film that got the creative juices flowing:



When it comes to fairys, this is apparently how it works:

  • Said Fairy jumps off of a very high flower, free-falling until just about hitting the ground, and then deploys her wings at the last minute.
  • On occasions when a suffuciently high flower cannot be found, fairys are permitted to simply fly to the desired height and tuck-in their wings to initiate the free-fall.

Mom says: "As long as Base Jumping stays in the realm of fairies, it's allowed."

Banff

What an adrenaline rush! I recognize one guy from a film we saw last year, 20 seconds of Joy. That was the heart wrenching story that had me in tears the year before. This go round we saw:

The Last Nomads
If you're not falling
Psyche: Patagonian Winter

There were a lot more than that, but these are the ones I readily remember. I would have liked to see both nights, but it is just too much for me!

One night

We saw 20 Seconds of Joy last year too, that was quite good.

This year I think we saw the Psyche: Patagonian Winter film, but I don't recognize the other two you mention (at least by name). Over here, the festival is just one night so there would be less films.

It is only the second time we have gone to see the festival, but we love it and plan on making it an annual activity for us.
