Up, Up and Away!

Two weekends ago we had some visitors from Chicago fly in to visit us. Ann Marie works for Tribune and worked with Minh when we lived there. Her husband Larry is a pilot and owns his own plane.
It was a windy day and we are waiting for the arrival.


I think we see them!

Yep that is them!

Chris is up close and personal to Mr. Larry's plane reading off the letters.

Of course he is the first one in.

Watch out I'm coming too!


The boys rode in the back seat.

They were a little short and could not see out of the windows but LOVED the headphones. James was the FIRST to discover there were microphones attached. (But does that surprise anyone?)  It was all over then! Time to SING!


And they're rolling..


Up they go!

They went up to Cartersville and Lake Acworth then back over our house then returned home.

Nice smooth landing

The boys thought it was fun!

Screaming with excitement!

James comes in for the final inspection.

While they were here the boys learned how to play Sudoku (with hints) with Ann Marie while she was deciding if she wanted an iPad. It was a fun few days relaxing and catching up with old friends. Thanks for visiting Ann Marie & Larry!
