Up, Up and Away…

This weekend Joseph went to the flying field with Grandpa Greg and Uncle Richard. He was initiated into all the deep, dark secrets of the flying field…like how Grandpa Greg always has a chocolate cupcake that he shares with Uncle Chad and how Uncle Richard always has the orange cupcake – that he’ll share with anyone who wants some. Like how Butch brings the beef jerky every week and there’s Dr. Pepper in all the ice chests. That Milky Way candy bars always seem to find their way into Uncle Richard’s ice chest. You know, the really important stuff that he should know about flying.

But he also learned about friends being friends, sharing parts and tools and advice, how everyone is eager for new kids to learn to fly, and how guys always try and out-lie each other. (That part he may already have known about)

We’re so glad that we were able to spend the weekend with him. We look forward to the next time he gets to come and stay.
