Grant’s New(ish) Plane
Posted on August 28, 2009
As I’ve mentioned here before, last summer Grant joined a group called Hawks, where he gets to fly really cool R/C planes twice a week. We were so busy this summer that we missed a bunch of days, but this was the last week that they were meeting for the summer, so we made sure that we went. And last evening Grant brought his little battery-powered R/C plane that he got from Grandma last Christmas. It’s been sitting on his shelf since December, and he’s never gotten a chance to fly it till now (he generally remembers that he has it at bedtime, or when we’re out of town, or when it’s raining, of course). It’s not as fancy as those big gas-powered planes that he normally flies at Hawks, but he still had a great time with it.
Checking out his plane, which he has named “The Stingray.”

His Hawks instructor helps him launch the plane.
It goes pretty high!
Uh-oh, it landed in the weeds.
“How do I get out of here??”
“I made it out!”

I love this little boy. With his mis-matched clothing, his shaggy hair, his dirty knees, and a book from his favorite series. He’s my little lovebug.

We’ve had a Muppet-y evening here in our household. The boys have watched The Muppet Movie (Griffin’s first time seeing it), and I remembered how much I love the song “The Rainbow Connection.” So I searched the internet and found the sheet music. Then came the hard part – I had to convnce Grant to start learning it. He wasn’t thrilled with the idea, but he’s a good kid and he is willing to give it a try. I figure that makes up for the 482,451 times I’ve had to endure him playing the Mario Brothers theme song.
