Fun Videos from New Years' 2009 at Sky Valley

We were all impressed with how well Ellie and Abby played together. You can see how cute they can be in the video below:


Be warned, however, that when princesses are involved - cute quickly goes out the window. This was Ellie's introduction into the princess world and you will see that Abby didn't appreciate Ellie's attempt to stake out her territory.


In the last video, Stephen learns the difference between a horse and a mule - as the mule nips at Elise.

Progression of a pilot

Stephen and I almost always bring, buy and/or break a remote control toy when we go to the mountains. This year, I decided to "take it up a notch" and get a better quality remote control plane. The following videos demonstrate the progression of our flying skills.
In the first video, the flight was pretty successful because it lasted more than a minute, but we apparently hit, or almost hit, a couple of kids when we crashed. You be the judge.

In the second flight, my skills got worse. The flight was shorter and I crashed into a tree. You can actually hear the crash.


Third Flight was as bad as the second, and I almost crashed into Stephen, who was acting as co-pilot and cameraman.


From here, the flights got a lot better. In the last video, you can see a textbook takeoff from the ground performed by Stephen.
