Helping Daddy
Mommy's HearthrobHere are some belated pictures from our trip (2 hrs away) to Maryland 2 weekends ago. We left that Friday morning for a helicopter fun-fly event. It was rather miserable weather at 100 degrees with high humidity. Being in the shade was very little relief, and even the occasional breeze was hot. Magnus and I sat in the Excursion every so often to cool down in the A/C. Joe just kept flying and tweaking his heli's as if weather was of no consideration. (How do guys do that??) We stayed all day Friday and Saturday, and you can see by the hotel picture up there that Magnus was a huge help (that's a screwdriver in his hand) with fixing Joe's heli. He also enjoyed pulling out all the Kleenex's in the bathroom - you know how they have the box mounted under the cabinet - and when I told him "no-no", he did something really funny. He stopped, thought about it for a second, then watched my face while he carefully pulled another one out, slowly lifted it to his face and blew his nose in it. (He's very good at blowing his nose, by the way.) He tossed it onto the growing Kleenex mountain at his feet, then repeated the sequence. Pull, look at mommy, blow nose, drop. I realized, once again, that I don't give my "wittle baby" nearly enough credit... the kid is too smart!
Anyway, sorry this post is late in coming - I was waiting around for a video of Joe's flying to be posted on the internet, and it looks like they're not going to upload it. The video I took with our camera would be too big to include on here, and it didn't turn out anyway since I got "sidetracked" running after Magnus and was wildly taping footage of sky, ground and everything in between. =) On the bright side, that heat wave we had all that week has settled down to gorgeous and perfectly acceptable 80 degree weather now. We are loving it! Joe is at the R/C field flying his heli's right at this moment... I think we shall go join him.
