Flying

My friend Kate invited me to go flying with her and her dad this morning. It was awesome. We had a stunning view Newton in all its fall splendor. I couldn't see our house, but I could see our brilliant red maple tree from way up there.

Regier-ville, including Bev and Chuck's farm, is near the Newton airport, so we had several opportunities to circle over it. The fields were a deep shade of red with milo, and florescent green with new winter wheat. Even the pigs looked kind of cute from way up there.

Kate was able to take-off, fly, and land beautifully. She is a great pilot. I didn't even need to use the barf bag.

Unfortunately, the batteries in my camera died just before take-off!





Since I don't have more pictures of my flight today, here is a picture of our red maple tree.
