This weekend Todd arranged for the kids to fly in a helicopter. Our neighbor is a pilot and in exchange for us chopping down a tree in our yard so they can have a mountain view from their house, he offered to take the kids up in the helicopter.

This is Moriah getting ready to take off. They are going through the preflight check.

Both kids were hesitant but once they were airborn, they decided they could fly all the time.


Doesn't Caleb look like he is a budding pilot?

We spent 2 hours at the Bend Airport watching the kids get in, put the head sets on, go through the preflight check and away they'd go. They both got to be flown over our house and Pilot Butte as well as Todd's work and a few other things. They loved, loved, loved it.

Our next adventures will take place next weekend. Todd and the kids will head to Nevada to spend time with his Dad and Alan as well as see the air show at Nellis Airforce Base. I am flying to New Jersey with 4 of my friends and we will try and kill ourselves by hitting every last event and tourist sight that is in the vicinity of New York City and Philidelphia. I'll let you know how that goes. I can't wait!

Happy Flying!
