Mother's day Fun..things to love about a small town

There have been many things that have popped up after living here for six years that never cease to amaze us about a small town.  On Mother's Day, the airport behind our house was offering free plane rides for kids from 8-17!! This airport is visible from our back yard, less than a mile away. We didn't even sign a waiver????  That fact dawned on me as I watched 3 of the 4 kids fly away!  It was an amazing experience and they enjoyed most of it, until a bit of motion sickness set in!  Sammy was too young and a bit disappointed about being left out but he got a great tour of a plane instead.  So- there are still things that happen in small town America that I don't think happen anywhere else!
Look carefully at each child......recognize those personalities?

Getting on board

Apparently the best part was the headset....and seeing cows from above???

Spring happenings

A clip of bells concert:
Joseph's homemade covered wagon traveling west on the Oregon Trail

Inside the wagon......I think we may have had an era mix up??

Happy to be on the podium

Weekend in Seattle with mom: State Cup Soccer, Chipotle, and an Izzie--life does not get much better!
