A Birthday Wish come true....

Next week is both Wyatt's and Chris's birthdays. They share the same day. So Chris wanted to make it a special birthday this year for Wyatt. Ever since he saw this helicopter land in the park behind our house- he has been fascinated with them. So Chris arranged a ride on this Huey helicopter for all of us. ( It just so happens that his boss owns it- along with 3 more and a couple airplanes!) So this morning about 8:30 am we took off for about and hour ride.



Chris and Wyatt sat on the side looking straight out with the door open. Where Wyatt is standing is where their seats are.


Getting buckled in!


I sat behind the pilot and Kate sat behind the co- pilot.


Wyatt's only concern was that as we went higher in elevation- it got colder. He was freezing at one point.


Kate sat perfectly still the entire ride. I think she was nervous.

I myself enjoyed the view.

There were some Indian ruins that we flew over. They are only visible and accessible in a helicopter.


A nice view.
All smiles after we landed.
