Please Enjoy Your Flight!

Robert and I decided to surprise the kids, very last minute, and have them go up in the jet with dad on Saturday. They had been inside the jet and have seen Robert take off and land in Provo this summer while we were visiting GrandB and Grandpa, but never had flown in it! The jet had been in Long Beach for the week for required and scheduled maintanance and was to be flown to Van Nuys, where it is hangared. Alex, our friend, who is the "Captain" (1st pilot), gave the go-ahead to let the 3 older kids along for the ride! Yes, I was a bit nervous at first, but they were so excited when we drove up to the airport, had them sit inside the jet, then tell them the news!Robbie "helped" Dad do all the pre-flight checks and arrangements. He was on cloud nine, need I say more?
The girls kicked back and prepared for the ride! Averie was so excited to be with the big kids! I was relieved when we said our good-byes. She didn't realize that she wasn't going to be able to go, or what she was missing for that matter! She and I were the caravan patrol, driving to VanNuys to pick up the crew and take us all home!

Robbie's dream come true... if only he could REALLY fly it!!
Needless to say, Robert and the kids beat us to VanNuys airport. They had such a great experience! Robert and Alex gave a "narrated tour" of the sites as they flew over them. Definitely a trip they won't forget for a long time! What a fantastic flight!!
