Biplane Flight

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=77ILz2hdzJw


For my upcoming birthday, my parents decided to give me a 45 minute aerobatic flight in a WWII trainer biplane. The flight took us over the Kennedy Space Center, where my dad works, and over to Cocoa Beach. The loops and barrel rolls were done over Cocoa Beach. The wing overs were done over land. I love tail dragger planes! My flight was moved up to last Saturday, because of my dad's work schedule. He was my flying buddy. The loops, barrel rolls and wingovers were very smooth. We enjoyed them!

If you go upside down in an open cockpit plane
you must have a parachute.

 That is my brother, Todd.
I don't think we could get him in this plane.
Well maybe in the plane,
but he would NOT want to do any loops in a plane!
 Who needs a car?
I am going to need a PLANE!
 Thank you, mom and dad!

Playing with the Band

I play the trumpet.
I like playing it.
I take trumpet lessons from a man who played trumpet in the military.
He is very good at it. I enjoy going to my lessons, practicing, and just playing my trumpet. My teacher plays in a band that plays in our area. One of the places they play each month is in an assisted living facility. Sometimes I go and play with the band.
I enjoy that.
This last month my part was to play "Edelweiss".
