We had a lot of fun this summer but it went by too fast.

Michelle and Mike left with Kyle and Sydney to drive back to Colorado and Andrew and Macie got to stay another week with us and we went to the cabin where they went tubing and fishing then they flew home all alone. Big grown up kids.

Our First Remote Controled Airplane

Do you like to fly airplane's well me and my cousin do. Today we worked for our grandpa and he bought us a remote control airplane. It took us 2 hours to put it together and adjust the controller. Then we took it outside to fly it. I threw the plane in the air and it did a barrel roll then nose dived into the asphalt. All our hard work had gone to waste. But we were able to fix it and try it again. Then my cousin threw the plane. It crashed again!!! So what did we do? We fixed it with duct tape and tried again. We got it to fly but as we got it to fly the plane dove straight down in to a field with sprinklers on. The water was so cold. We knew we had to prove to our grandpa that this was not a cheap piece of junk. So we put more duct tape on the plane and tried again. My cousin ran as fast as he could and threw the plane. The plane a.k.a. the yellow bee now not yellow any more from all the electrical, and duct tape with a splash of super glue. After many more attempts we got the plane to fly (again). It was working so great when it slowly lost altitude and crashed into a fence. It turned out that the battery was dead. Or else the plane would have stayed in the air longer. But of course we could not stop our bad luck.
