Although I had already flown in the morning, I decided the weather was too good to pass up another flight. Winds were relatively calm, and horizon was good and safe, so why not introduce the boys to their first flight with Mom as co-pilot? My usual instructor was already booked for the rest of the day, so we flew with Tatiana. She took us over the apartment building, and both boys spotted it, then we headed back east and went to the zoo. Simon promptly fell asleep, but Alex was able to identify the parking lot and some other features before he, too, fell asleep. (Amazing how they can do that when the radio is going pretty much non-stop: It was a busy day!)
When asked later about the highlight of the experience, both boys exclaimed unanimously that it had definately been getting chocolate from the vending machine with one of the other instructors!!!! SERIOUSLY?! :-P
