Wednesday morning Todd called and invited us to join him on a 2 hour forestry flight. We quickly finished our breakfast and headed over to the Collegedale Airport where we piled into the new Cessna 172. After leaving Collegedale we circled an aerial photography site while Jane11 got blasted by 100 mph wind from the open window. We then continued North almost to Kentucky, then turned around and headed back home. The trip was fairly uneventful - no forest fires.
After touching back down on dear ol' Terra Firma we swung by to check up on Grandma and her garden and deliver her a new hose and faucet. The garden is doing great! She's had to trim back her tomatoes because they were getting too big. She's been enjoying the green beans and cucumbers, and will soon have a crop of lima beans.
Then after eating lunch at Fazoli's we drove the short trip across town to visit Er!c's family. Trudi & Daniel were hosting a 4th of July pool party for their church at their house so there were LOTS of people there. Er!c's parents were also there. Gideon is now swimming very confidently in the pool, diving to the bottom and even jumping off the diving board. Galena let her uncle Er!c push her around in the little plastic car... :)
Oh yeah, this is the flag that our neighbor put up for us...
