Flying Firsts! Memorial Weekend

Its been a while since we have had some new fliers in our family, but over Memorial weekend we had two grandkids fly for the first time in our 182. Both could hardly contain themselves but Buggy and Bear had so MUCH fun!  I don't think Bear ever quit smiling. The wind was awful on saturday and sunday but monday was wonderful!

 Buggy was patiently waiting to go up in the 182. Boy was she excited!!

 Bear was ready too! He told Eric to shut the door! Haha....he had sooooo much fun.

 Right before they got in! Bear had to try his hand at the instruments of course.

Daddy was instrumental in keeping both Bear and Buggy happy in the air!

 

I must say, he was a very proud Daddy today!

 Moose got to talk on the radio and sit in my seat as co-pilot. He thought that was very cool!

The Papa Pilot and his 3 happy grandkids!

 No sooner did they get out of the 182 and Bear said, "Let's go in that one Papa!" meaning the L-2!  He would gladly have went up again!

The plane that made it all possible.... our beautiful 182!

 

Bear and Nana enjoying our time together!

 He is such a funny boy! You gotta love that onery smile!

Moose outgrew his old bike - we had this one at our house and it fits him perfectly so we are glad he can ride the wheels off of it! He was on it quite a bit over the weekend.

 Papa was hot in the afternoon, so I filled up the pool and the kids enjoyed cooling off and cooling off Papa! Notice they ALL are dumping on him. Boy was that cold.....

more bicycle fun in the shop!

 

 Bear in the hangar!

 Notice the chocolate covered face! That cake everyone enjoyed too!

 A little tractor time - We would have had an uprising otherwise!  :)

and the kids really enjoyed watching the field by our house get cut! What a Great weekend!  Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

Let's not forget our fallen heroes. I really miss my dad who proudly served in the Air Force and also Bruce's dad who served as well in WWII. AND last but not least, to Eric who served during Desert Storm in the Air Force. Thanks for your service! We are so proud of you!
