Katie and her friend Jenny made an un-birthday cake to celebrate their un-birthdays. Here is the cake with candles lit...oops, we need the Alice video running with the "Very Merry Un-birthday" song playing before we blow out the candles....
I guess that would've been good to have all set up BEFORE the candles were lit. Wax puddle candles! The cake tasted great anyway!
Very merry unbirthday to you!
For Michael's birthday this year I could not think of anything for his big 18. All he could think of to ask for was, I don't remember, socks or something. Nothing worthy of becoming a legal adult. We had just received the UVU community education brochure and something caught my eye. They had a one day aviation day camp where you got to fly a plane! You need to know that Michael has always wanted to go to BYU but the only other school that he seriously looked into was Air Force Academy because he has always thought it would be great to be a pilot.
So, he spent the day with a retired AirForce pilot, in the flight simulator and then in an airplane with an instructor. He didn't take off or land but was allowed to take the controls in the sky for a bit. Katie and I went to video and take pictures.
Here they are checking everything. It was not the greatest weather and I must admit a little stressful for a mom. They actually taxied out and came back because the winds were high and there was lightening. They waited until the storm passed and then went up but it was still pretty windy.
Michael's hand waving goodbye out the window.
Starting to taxi...
Liftoff! Nelson and David were boating on Utah Lake with a bunch of David's friends watching to see him in the air. The airport is right next to the lake so they saw him go up. It was raining in Orem so they went South and around a bit and came back. He had about a 25 minute flight.
Safe and sound back on the ground! Happy 18th Michael!
