Since moving to Lake Havasu City in 2002, we become more and more aware each year, of the many different activities that take place here, particularly during the so called winter months. One such event, that we had not known about, is the remote controlled sea plane classic, that is taking place this weekend at Windsor Beach State Park. After standing on the beach for a few minutes, watching the planes landing and taking off right in front of us, a lady came over and asked Laila, if she would like to help fly her seaplane. Being a bit tentative, we encouraged her to "go for it", and we walked the few steps to the water, where Laila watched her new friend control the take off, flight, and landing of her seaplane. With a maximum of 7 seaplanes in the air at any given time, it was a little difficult for Laila to keep track of her friends plane. But, each time it made the circle and passed in front of us, we would point it out to her. When the flight was over, and the plane was being taken out for a prop change, we thanked the couple for including Laila in the experience. Next year, we'll bring chairs so we can relax and watch a little longer. We did stay for a little while, watching the aerobatics, which including one plane running out of fuel and land where it shouldn't have. The rest of the day was spent at the house, where a variety of activities took place. One thing you can count on with 4 year olds, attention spans never last very long, so Grandma and Grandpa, (mostly Grandma) have become pretty good at mixing things up. Our Beagle Sami, has the right temperament and patience, because she is often the focus of Laila's attention, and there's always something going on with the two of them. Today is race day, and I'll try and show Laila on the TV, where Mommy and Daddy are enjoying the corporate hospitality suite at the Dallas racetrack.

Wow the Sun, a beach, and whole plethora of sea planes, good stuff given its November. Here is Western, NY we'll be lucky to see the sun before may.
