Plane adventures

Tyson got a Remote Control Airplane for his birthday -called the SUPERCUB! IT has been quite an adventure. I love to go as a family to the school and we all watch his plane as he flies it around. Everyonce in a while he will drop an item with a parachute, and the kids run to see who can catch it, but unfortunatly I don't think their depth perception is very good, because no one ever does ;) Once we used Tanners small plastic alligator- he thought the world was going to end when he saw it drop from the sky- we only used it once. Tanner loves to go with his Dad to get the plane after it lands and he follows after him- it is soo cute!

WE try to stay where there is a large field, knowing that with all of the woods around, it may never come back again if we lose sight of it. Ty got pretty confident however and tried the street in front of our house. He did really good until he flew the plane right into the top of this tree (the one just to the left of the lightpole). He had a momentary lapse of depth perception as well. It sat for a few days while we tried to get it down. Ty even called a professional tree climber, but the Professional thought that traveling from minnesota to Texas was just too far. HAHA. One morning he drove by and there was his plane- still stuck in the branch- at the bottom of the tree! Someone had actually cut the entire branch down and set it there! We don't know who our friendly tree climber was, but we are sure grateful.

There wasn't too much damage, but enough that Ty got to fix it up again, which he says is half the fun! I am amazed at what he can fix. Last week , he took apart our broken charger for our keyboard and scraped and sautered stuff onto the circuit board and fixed it! I am a lucky lady to be married to an electrical engineer!

I tried to post some videos, but my computer is having problems with uploading them tonight, I will try agian later.
