See this really BIG plane?? It's called a PBY... and it weighs... alot!!!
See this merry band of firefighters... well, they seem to think they can pull this plane!!!
And actually... they did, along with a few other "teams"... it was the third annual "Pull for teens" fund raiser. The jest of it is.. a team of 8 pulls the plane twelve feet.. and the team that pulls it in the quickest time... wins!!!!
Last year our group placed first and also won the "most sportmenship award"....
This year, they took a very honorable second place.. and again, was awarded "most sportmenship".... congrats you guys.....
The plane pull was just a small part of the day, there was also an antique car show, and a "fly in" .. it was a great place to bring Ginger along for some "social skills" aside from being around lots of planes, and people... she also got to ride on her first trolley. Of course she was wonderful, and had the grandest time.
Sadie got to experience a rare treat.... a pilot of a small plane was offering rides. Sadie had never flown in a small plane before, so she was excited to go and give it a try. Once they were up the pilot asked her "where" she wanted to go... she said to the ocean (though later I said too bad she didn't ask to fly over the farm.....) but she got some really nice pictures and had a good time. (I didn't go.. though now I sort of wished I had....)
After the plane pull, we popped in to visit with my Dad and Mom (it was Father's Day as well) and then we all went onto Kas and Nate's for a cookout. Ed and Dave got to spend some time together, and being "spoiled" by their kids!!!!
Abbie spent the better part of the day with her Dad, and joined with us later... she had more fun playing "baby in the box!"
It was a fun day... pulling plane, flying plane, family - gifts, and playing... how does it get better than that???
