Kevin's mom, who, for some reason we call Grandma, took the boys up in an airplane as a gift. But they had to wait for school to end and for weather to be clear. The first appointment was rained out, but the second attempt worked out. (It did rain in areas around the city, but they somehow avoided it all.) It was just a cloudy day, but the view was still great. They both loved it, and talked about it for days.
Since we were planning on getting a new camera (which we did in June) I gave the camera to the boys and told them to take pictures of anything they wanted. And they ended up getting great shots! They even got our house. Since they were up for so long they flew all over the St. Louis area, and even got to take turns flying as co-pilot. At a small airport they did a "Chinese fire drill" and switched spots.
Here are photos from the day. Louise (Grandma) even got a picture of our house!!! (But I don't have that right now. I will add it if I get it.)
