Flying Daddy's Airplane

So Alex loves to play with toys... he really likes radio controlled planes, helicopters, and boats. So for Christmas I got him a plane. This weeks it was finally nice enough outside to give it a test run, so we decided to take it down to the park. He tried about three times before figuring it all out. But when he finally got it in the air for more than a minute he learned something, the remote shuts off automatically after two minutes so you don't waste the battery. The only problem was he learned it the hard way. The plane hit a huge tree, and we had to wait and watch as ti tumbled down branch after branch hoping it would make it all the way down. Luckily it did. The plane didn't look so good when it landed though. It was a munched up and it had a lame wing. That night he worked to mend it. We decided the next day we would take it out but we need a spot where there are no trees. We decided Hanford High. Perfect! He was able to fly that plane everywhere. Addisyn loved it, she would run after the plane as it flew, screaming and laughing. I had fun watching and laughing at Alex, as some of his take offs were not so successful. Now that he has the hang of it, he needs to get dad to take out his big plane so they can fly them together. We also went out Wednesday, we called Dan to join us. It was getting dark so it was a short night but it was still fun.
