Flying High

Justin had his first cross country flight yesterday...no he did not fly to New York. Basically it meant, he flew to Nephi and back. I don't know why they call it cross-country. But nonetheless, it took about three hours to complete the trip. He had to stop at the airport in Provo, Nephi and then Delta. For this flight he was in charge of planning out the whole trip. It took him about two days to plan it out. I guess there is a lot of work that goes into these things. I thought you just got in the plane and away you went! Apparently you have to map out what altitude and speed you are going to be out for different portions of the flight. Way confusing. Anyways, he has two more that he has to do and then one solo cross-country to Wendover. Here are some pictures his instructor took of him when he did his first solo flight. It still freaks me out that he is in that tiny of a plane!

This past weekend I had an event in Colorado at the Winter Park Resort. Basically it was free skiing for the whole weekend. Me and Justin went and took our nephew, Duncan. The guys were able to snowboard all weekend and I got to go on Friday because I had to work the rest of the time! It was really fun and nice to have a day to ourselves. I was sore there for a couple of days because I only ski about once a year. The weather was beautiful except for Sunday when we were coming down the mountain. It usually takes about an hour and a half to get to Denver but it took us four! They got the snowstorm we had on Saturday. Cars were sliding off the road and it was a very tense ride! Then we ended up sitting on the runway for two hours but we made it home.

Easton stayed with my sister-in-law and her family. He has two girl cousins and so we dropped off all his stuff and he didn't even care that we were leaving. He said "bye" and away he went to play. Justin and I kept calling all weekend to see if he was sad or if he missed us but we got nothing. The kid could care less. I guess that is a good thing. The only time he did cry was when she tried to put a dress on him! Here is the proof (as taken from Pandy's website). Like she said, the kid is all boy! I'm going to pretend he is crying for his mommy!
