Saturday we got up early to fly to Lake Texoma for breakfast. After a small mechanical problem with the plane - which took longer to fix than anticipated (which follows perfectly my "multiply times 3 rule" when it comes to a man's estimate of time involved in almost any activity), but Jon-the-fixit-man-Scholl did his magic and we got in the air . . . finally.
Lucy was on her way home from Girl's Camp, so she missed it.
The Lake from above.
Beautiful - right? I'm talking about the plane, of course!
We had a really HOT walk to Pelican's Landing where we had lunch. On the way we stopped by the petting zoo to say hello.
Lunch was GREAT - mostly because there was air conditioning!!
Will was pretty sure he could eat a whole pizza by himself - NOT!
Always ready to pose!
Then we enjoyed a really HOT walk back to the plane to hurry home to get Lucy.
There are some fun "cabins" right on the airstrip you can rent. We plan to go back and stay there for a night or two with the kids.
The pretty grass strip. Don't you wonder why they left that tree growing at the end????
Another minor adjustment before take-off.
Will waits relatively patiently.
On the way home, we flew over the house to get these shots:
A fun time was had by all, but we agreed morning flights are much more pleasant during June in Texas.

What a great adventure! My favorite part is your "times 3" rule. It is much more generous than my rule: "add 1 and increase an order of magnitude": as in 1 hour = 2 days.
How fun! I can't believe how much Will has changed. He's so much bigger. It's been a while since we've seen him.
I love the air shot of the house. Beautiful!
