Later on my Birthday

My mom and I saw my favorite plane fly over our house.

It is the TICO BELLE. She is one of the planes

at the WAR BIRD museum near our home. She crashed

a few years ago, they have just got her flying again.

She sounds wonderful flying over our house.

With her landing gear down.

I had a very Happy 11th Birthday.

I eventually got all the candles out.

My mom likes to surprise us.
