Marin's first flight

While Caleb was in town he took us flying. It was Marin's first flight (not including sitting in MetLife's Snoopy 2 blimp while it was tethered a couple feet off the ground).



















Marin has almost out grown his old car seat, but it came in handy





































Matthew had the honor of piloting Marin during his first flight (with the help of an instructor)



















MaLeah was comfortable in her role as back seat driver ... Marin was asleep before we took off



















Matthew scared the instructor by climbing out a little steep on take off ...



















But we managed not to crash





































Matthew got a little instruction



















And took to it fairly well



















We flew over our neighborhood and took the obligatory aerial shot of our house



















After the instructor did a touch and go to show Matthew how to land, he let Matthew give it a try ...



















We swapped out so Caleb could fly ... we circled the pattern and did a bunch of touch and goes, pretty much hitting the numbers (or very close) every time ... I'm hoping to post a video later
