Saturday September 27 was Cache Valley Ear, Nose & Throats Fall work party. Dr. Wood has his pilots license and owns a couple of airplanes and stores them in his hanger down at Logan Airport. This year he wanted to take us all up for a ride in his plane. All the kids were so excited. We ate a catered dinner from Iron Gate Grill in his Hanger and then all the kids make there own homemade bombs to throw out of the airplane. Dr. Wood had made a target on the old runway and he was going to let the kids throw their bombs out of plane to see who could get the closest to the target.
The bombs were made of dirt and the dirt was put in a grocery sack and tied with ribbon with the kids name on the tie. The kid who came the closest to the target got a day off with pay for there mother. I thought I was a shoe in.. I had three kids throwing two bombs each.
It was so much fun and the kids will always remember this. Kenzie came in second and Kason came in fifth. (Not Bad).
Thank you Dr. Wood for a night of EXTREME FUN!!!

Hayden & I were the first of our family to get to go up! I was a little sad for Hayden that he got saddled with me as a partner but, we did pretty well. Anyone who knows me is aware of my anxiety and my paranoia. This was definitely out of my comfort zone. I totally trusted Dr. Wood and his ability to fly the plane so I couldn't let this opportunity pass me by. When we came down for landing Dr. Wood landed slightly and then immediately went back in the air. The words out of Dr. Woods mouth was "oops" WHAT????
I said to him "There are a couple of things I don't want to hear while we are flying in an airplane and that would be one of them."
He was going a little to fast and needed to slow down a little before we landed. Everything was find and we landed safely.

The day Kason found out that we were going to fly in Dr. Woods plane was the last day of peace for me. For 1 week straight all I heard was "When do we get to go fly in the plane?" I was so glad when Saturday night finally came. Kason was a bit nervous but, Ben said that he did GREAT while they were in the air. However he did not want to throw his bombs, he was afraid to put his arm outside the window. (I can't really blame him for that!!)

Now it was Kenzie's turn. I was surprised that she wanted her Dad to go with her. Ben said that she did find while they were in the air but, the moment they touched down and the door opened and Kenzie set her eyes on me the water work began. "I was so scared!" that is all she could say. This was the first unhappy customer!
