A New Beginning...

Yesterday was a big day for my son, Robert. For his 16th birthday, we gave him an hour-long, private airplane ride where he could sit in the front and see what it was really like. He's been talking about flying for some time now, and we thought this would be a very special time for him. And it was!

He, Kim, and I went up yesterday morning with Seth and Ashley in Seth's grandmother's Bonanza. Wow, was that cool! It was so smooth, and we got to see some pretty incredible sights. But the best sight of all was Robert's face as he flew for a little while. Somehow I have the feeling that yesterday will the first of many flights for him.

Here are a few of the best shots:

He even looks like a pilot

Wow

That smile says it all
