HART ceremony..

Skyler went to Canada over the weekend to participate in the Civil Air Patrol's HART (Honoring, And Remebering, Together) along with the Canadian Cadets from the Army, Navy, Air Force, and I believe Coast Guard.  

Lots of stress for Mom and Dad, but he made it home safe a little before midnight yesterday.





Arriving in Lethbridge, Alberta Friday.

Rehearsal Friday evening.

Looks like chaos.

Out of 200 cadets in Utah that applied, Skyler was one of 27 selected to attend HART.

This really pisses me off!  90mph in a van with tires not rated for that speed.

Big day yesterday.

Skyler got to go up flying with the Civil Air Patrol right after school and our new furniture was delivered!

Preflighting the aircraft.

Skyler checked tire pressures.

Here we go!



Taxiing out.









Their flight path.  
He said he had the controls for over half the flight.

Weekend happenings.

Skyler had his fall break, he had a Halloween sleepover, we hiked,  saw a rare airplane land, and bought a new living room set!

Skyler went as Carl from "Caddyshack".




Bell Canyon lower reservoir.

Grumpy teen.

Altair wanted to keep hiking toward the lower falls, so we did.

Bridge!

Packed with snow.

We ended up racing the sunset Friday evening.  We won.

Royal Air Force Airbus A-400 cargo plane landed at SLC Saturday afternoon.
Our new living room furniture!  So excited!  
It gets delivered Thursday.
