Busy Weekend

The morning came way too early after a late night out with Emma, but we were on our way out to the airport for 7:30am to help with the Fly-In breakfast.  It ended up being a record breaking year and we fed close to 200 people and had between 250-300 people at the event.  They'd had a bbq and a movie the night before too with people camping over, so there were people, cars, tents, and airplanes everywhere!  They had door prizes and draws for airplane/helicopter rides.  They even had Batman come take pictures with kids and skydivers throughout the event.  

 I didn't get a chance to sit down the entire morning and definitely didn't get anything to eat.  We ran out of yogurt within the first hour, sausages shortly after that and eggs about 45 minutes before we ended.  By the end, we had pancakes available and nothing else.  It was nuts!

As we started cleaning up, Roger's boys wanted to ride in Grandpa's airplane... but Lennard had taken someone up for a ride.  They got the next best thing... one of Grandpa's airplanes that they are currently building! (Murphy Rebel).  Emma and Jeffrey loved it.  Liam - not so much!

We finally got home around just before noon.  Lennard ended up with a flat tire on the truck, so we filled it and got home as quickly as possible before it went flat again.

We took a few minutes to relax in the afternoon and then got to go over to James & Dina's place for a brisket and rib dinner that James had smoked all day.  We invited Cody & Shannon to come with us, so it was quite the party.  (We'd bought the dinner at our recent Youth Auction.)  We didn't stay too late as both kids were extremely overtired from their late nights out the night before.  Lennard and I were ready for bed the same time they were!
