Family Vacation 2
The rest of the trip is pretty much shot for me. We still haven’t been to Rushmore yet and I’m like, “yeah, yeah…whatever…” It’s all downhill from here. I’m 20 minutes into the movie and I’ve seen all the good stuff. Everything will be anticlimactic after this morning.
This is what I got to do this morning:
It has been a dream since childhood to be a helicopter pilot. I’ve had several failed attempts at pursuing that path and for one reason or another it didn’t happen (I think I know now but that’s a different show). Today I got to experience a helicopter flight from the inside for the first time ever. It was incredible – everything I had imagined and more!
It wasn’t planned and came as a complete surprise. It was as if my heavenly Father planned a surprise gift for me. He and I have been talking about it all day. What a cool dad I have! And here’s the kicker. It went beyond just a cool experience, beyond a dream realized, and became a special memory I get to share with people I love the most.
Here are some more pics then I have to get ready for that boring pyrotechnics show over one of America’s most impressive monuments ... yawn . . . whatever.
Thought from today: Cool things in life are best experienced with people you love. Thank you family and thank you Dad!

NO WAY! You're kidding right?! That would be such a blessing. What a cool opportunity.
