The flight

So Sean came home from Young Men's about a month ago with an Airhog remote control airplane; brand new, in the box.  Apparently they spent the evening cleaning out the scout trailer and this was one of the finds.  Sean ended up being the only one that wanted it.

Since then he has taken the plane out maybe 6 or 7 times.  It was a huge hit, generally attracting a gang of neighbor kids that would chase after the plane on each flight.  Three of those flights, however, ended with the plane landing on a neighbors roof.  Each time a different roof that surrounded the park he was flying at.  Generally too high to retrieve, we would check on the plane several times a day in the days that followed.  Since the plane is made of foam and is very light, it would get blown around by the wind and eventually get close enough to the edge that Sean could reach it with the extendo-duster.

Good way to meet your neighbors!

So, you can't actually see the plane.  Just pretend it's there flying 10 feet in front of Catherine

  2. Ditto. Catherine looks like a child model in the first photo.
