My Uncle Richard owns his own plane. It’s a CESSNA 150 … 2 seater. Jessamyn and I got to take turns going for a ride this past weekend. An awesome experience, I’m so glad I got to do it. Jessamyn had a great ride as well, but she didn’t have a camera with her, so these are only photos from my ride. We flew over to the Maine coast and back.

First, Jessamyn and I went in halvies on a new lens. It’s an ultra wide angle lens … very cool. Here’s a shot of Abi playing with her balloon (with a lollipop in her mouth):

Today, we decided to go to the Schenectady Museum. It’s a little pricey ($7.50 per adult) and a bit run down, but there’s a lot for kids to do, which is cool:

she loves computers

not much hydrogen in her

static electricity machine

manually powered electric motor

Abi at Spencer's birthday party

I don’t get to see Abi interact with other kids too much. Jessamyn takes her on play dates during the day when I’m working, and she goes to children’s church during church, but I don’t get to see her … see if she gets scared, or if she understands everything that happening … or if she gets involved. The other day we took her to a friends 2 year old birthday. It was at a day care center type of place and there were many children of all ages, so I got to watch her. It’s interesting to see her having fun, but not really interacting too much with other kids … yet she likes to have them around.

We went to the Novak’s for halloween. Bil and I took Sam and Willow out trick or treating while Pro, Abi, and Carrie passed out candy from the house. Nick, Kris, and Sean showed up a bit later.

We had a great weekend at Ty and Beth’s wedding – more pictures to come. Just wanted to show off my snazzy white tux:
