Flying with Dad

New Year's Day was a very special day for Blake and the kids. Even though Blake got his pilot's license in 1995, this day was the first time they ever got to fly with him! Since Blake is now going back to school for aviation and working on his instrument and commercial license (and thanks to some much needed loans) he has been putting in the hours towards those goals. Thankfully, one of his scheduled flights was this day and we also had the kids, so we made a family day of it.

SO, Blake had this flight all planned out (we were both very excited). We were going to leave Boise and head southwest and fly over our house in Kuna, then head west to Ontario -land and then go to Weiser - land and then go to Nampa - land and head back to Boise. A great family outing and time in the air for Blake.

So far, so good - just before take-off - happy kids!
