Last night Edee and Greg were kind enough to watch Ava for a few hours while Jenn and I had a "date night". But instead of going to a movie or a show, we went for a sunset flight south of Boise. The air was nice and smooth, and we touched down just before sunset to end a great flight.
There’s Kuna a few miles out, and the Owyhee’s in the background:
There’s "Initial Point", the initial starting point for surveying Idaho in 1867:
Landed just a few minutes before sunset:
We were flying low and slow above a farm field in this video:
And here we are just hanging out passing time. I am playing the harmonica, while Ava is telling me to stop and go. She is getting good at using sign language as well as her voice.
Jenn, Ava, and I left last Friday and drove 6 hours to an area near Pasco, Washington to attend the Memorial Day PPC Rally. There was a good turnout and it was lots of fun. The weather was pretty good, with great flying conditions most mornings and evenings. At times there were probably 40 PPCs in the air, flying all around the area. Ava loved watching all the aircraft flying around.
The camping was on a sod farm, which turned out to be great for Ava. She could walk all around the area in bare feet, and not hurt her feet or get dirty since it was all perfectly cut grass.
