Our friend and neighbor, Chris is a mechanic/pilot here at the Price Airport! Bet you didn't know Price had an airport! HA! It's a small one, but Chris has invited us several times to fly down to Moab and we've never been able to take him up on his offers....until Wednesday Morning!!
It was going to be the whole family, but it turned out only the small plane was available so Chris was only able to take three people! Nate, Ty, and Mara woke up really early Wednesday morning and flew with Chris down to Moab and then drove Chris's car back to Price. It was a very big adventure for these kiddos!
While they were flying Caleb and I were snoozing! Boy did it feel good to sleep in and not have to rush to get Ty off to school and Nate off to work!
Nate said as soon as they landed in Moab he was itching to go hiking and camping! But they didn't stay in Moab long, just had to drop off the plane.
Here is the flight crew!
Ty and Mara had a blast! They thought it was so cool to be able to fly in a small airplane!
Ty was trying to tell me about wearing the headphones. He said the motor was loud and so it helped shut out the noise. He also said they were able to talk to each other in the microphone.
And this little sweetie was so excited, she couldn't stop talking about it all day long! She even called Mimi and told her she had been on an airplane ride that day---Mimi had a hard time believing that one! But it was true! A little airplane ride is a great way to start any day!

What a nice neighbor, and a fun trip!
Wow!! This is the way to start your day. So glad you have pictures so they can remember.
Wish Chris was my neighbor and I would ask him to drop me off in C.A. O Well!
It is such a different experience flying in a smaller plane than a larger one. You can see everything in much more detail it seems. Mara was very excited about it at preschool that day!
