First Solo Flight…

 

My youngest baby bird got her driver’s license yesterday and she made her first solo flight this morning.

See those spots of light?  Those are her Guardian Angels. 

She’s on her way to band practice at the school.  Her school will compete in a Marching Band Competition at Eastern Arizona College in Thatcher tomorrow.  No, she doesn’t have to drive there…they’ll ride a bus.

Making a “right” turn into her future….

I remember that. Exciting time for the teenager, Scary time for a parent but it gets easier each time. Congratulations to her!

The first sign of her coming independence, although admittedly it's a very scary one!

I have to agree with Kathy.

A big step in your daughter's life as well as in yours...
we have been lucky to have had two of our kids have their licence in California so the same rule applied to our youngest here in Az: he was not allowed to take anyone in the car for a year and this helped.
Good luck for the band competition tomorrow which is today :-)
