Alex's Helicopter Ride!

We made an agreement a long time ago, that when he was completely,

well, uh, let me start over.

Alex thought an excellent reward for 'taking a huge step in becoming independent' should be getting to go on a helicopter ride.

Unfortunately, this milestone was reached last fall after the helicopters had left for the season.

Chris and I decided that Memorial Day this year would be

a perfect time for him to take the ride!!!

So Chris, Aunt Anne, and Alex all went for a little ride.

Mom, Grandma and Grandpa, all stayed safely on the ground.

Grandma Pam and Grace stayed at home and took naps.

A safe landing!

Everyone had a great time, and it was a great reward.

Now Grace is really looking forward to getting to go on the helicoptor!
