With another birthday coming up, Larry Shumard felt like jumping out of a plane - once for each of his soon-to-be 35 years.

And it wasn’t until he was done that he felt like celebrating, birthday cake and all.

Shumard, who owns Snake River Skydiving in Star, spent nearly seven hours Monday jumping out of a plane, pulling his parachute open and floating to the ground.

“They all sort of melt together,” said Shumard, who turns 35 today.

Aided by family and friends, Shumard averaged a seven-minute turnaround between jumps - a little more than two minutes to climb to 2,000 feet, a minute or so to fall and three or four minutes to grab a chute and get ready to go up again.
