My weekend at Bernie's...and Durelle's

I had a wonderful time last weekend visiting with my Great- Aunt and Uncle . Here are some highlights from our fun time together!

I went exploring in their backyard. They have much nicer grass than at my house. I had to bring some stuffed animals on my journey.I had to check out this statue of Saint Joseph.
They made this nice path into the woods for me to walk on. Check how tall my Uncle is...I think I barely come to his knees. It took me a few minutes everyday to be sure of him....so tall!!
A bridge over a creek...
...that led to a wonderful swing with a great view of the bigger part of the creek.

So then my dad went gliding with Bernie on Saturday...a plane without an engine for all of those who did not know...
They put me in the front seat and I was not a happy camper at all. I am not ready to go flying without engine power yet..no way!!

Here I am much more content out of the glider.
Bernie explaining everything to dad...Doesn't my dad look cool. He was very excited to get back into a plane and fly again. I think he even got to take control for part of the flight.
This is the tow plane that took them up...I was hoping for a tow, myself. (I am holding on to the end of the tow rope...)
Instead, I think I will hook them up to the tow plane.
Dad and Bernie ready for take off!!
In tow...
...safely making their landing back on the ground after a 35 minute flight.
Mom decided to go up for a ride too. Don't tell dad, but she got an hour long flight.
In a nut shell, we had a great time and I can't wait to go back up for another visit!!

Cindy- I was just looking through all of your pictures... she is sooo cute!!! I can't believe how big already. How do they grow so fast and where in the heck did the time go? I'm sure it only gets worse too! Well, I hope you are all well- it looks like you are! Hope to see you soon. Take care! What a cutie!!!
