Come Fly With Me!

Saturday morning, a beautiful day the phone rings. . . .what does it bring? Dr. Jones is going flying and invites Mark and I along. Certainly an offer one can't refuse!
The beautiful Blues

We flew over Canyonlands - it was spectacular!

So many mesas and canyons and gorgeous rock formations.

My Pilot!
Do you want to fly it? Mark said, You bet!
He flew us for about 1/2 an hour.
He was a great pilot!

The Henry Mountains in the distance.

The confluence of the Green River and Colorado River.
Lake Powell via the air!

The Bears Ears - Up close and personal!

Come back down to Blanding - Can you find our house?

Safe back on the ground again - home sweet home!
We had a beautiful ride, thanks to Dr. Jones for such a gracious, thoughtful gesture!

I am NOT happy about that!!! We DON'T fly in small planes mom!!!! I am glad it is over, I didn't know about it, and you had fun, but you had better not be accepting anymore of those invitations. We love our parents and want them to see more grandkids!

WOW! You guys just keep doing fantastic things! I'll bet Mom and Dad were flying along beside you and cheering Mark on piloting the plane! What a wonderful Saturday!!! Please tell Jeanine that although Blanding and planes have had a bit of trouble lately, we were in small planes alot when we were young. That is what Mom and Dad flew.

Fun! I have to admit that it honestly makes me motion sick just looking at those pictures.
