Flying High

Today was an adventurous day in Steinbach.  I took the kids out to watch Auntie Lu and Grandpa go flying in an ultralight. It was Grandpa's first time being up that high and only held in by some seat belt straps. For Auntie Lu, it was probably pretty tame after jumping out of an airplane last year, but they both enjoyed it and would probably do it again if given the opportunity. And we had fun watching them too.

Flying!

Safe and sound on solid ground again

Auntie Lu's turn!

Way up high in the sky!

Clearly Matthew was taking it all in while we were there.  When we got home, he pulled out his Lego and started to build ultralights.  Lego Grandpa and Lego Matthew were even enjoying a ride together.
