Here are some more highlights of the trip from my cute little camera!

Building with Nana.

Grampa paying bills. what? you’re on VACATION!

blowing bubbles is always fun!

Riding on Grampa’s shoulders.

We had so much fun on this trip! Ava was a dream during the very looooong car ride (thanks to Nana and all the fun toys she brought along). Grampa knew about all the dams we passed, we even stopped at one for a nice break. I can’t remember the name of the dam… but here are a few pics.

Ava watching the Salmon go up the fish ladder.

Ava and Daddy coming back down from the dam viewing area.

And speaking of great toys that Nana brought along.. a bird book was Ava’s very favorite!! At first we looked at all the different birds and discussed their features. Then it turned into a rhythmic story that Ava read over and over (in the video below) and now it has evolved into a story about 2 mourning doves named Eeny and Enna. This book goes everywhere with Ava, even to bed.

brag time! I think Scott will be pretty embarrassed that I mentioned this because he’s so humble, but I must brag about my awesome husband. While in Quincy, word got out on what a skilled and professional pilot Scott is. The president of the powered parachute club approached Scott and asked him if he would consider becoming a Certified Flight Instructor! I just think this is so cool because there were over 50 pilots there and for them to recognize Scott’s talent and single him out is pretty amazing.

My parents were nice enough to go with us to the little town of Quincy, WA for the Memorial Day Powered Parachute Rally. We had a fun and relaxed weekend of lounging, camping, and flying. Over 50 machines and pilots attended, and many of the locals came out as well to see what it was all about.

Here’s Dad and me flying over camp

Heat Wave

We got a record-setting heat wave for this time of year the last several days so some of us local pilots went for a nice evening flight in short-sleeve weather. We flew out to Murphy and back.

Everyone doing their engine warmup and preflight inspections…

Who’s watching me? (Ava’s plugging her ears…)

Time to get up in the air

Beautiful green farm fields are fun to fly over and they smell great too!

Just flying back home low and slow

And caught a nice sunset on the way home. That’s Lake Lowel off in the distance about 10 miles.
