The Obsession Continues & Spreads

This past Christmas Daniel got a remote control airplane from Zachary. As many of you probably know Daniel quickly became obsessed with flying it. He has made sure that he takes Zachary with him (and me too, since I have to make sure Zachary doesn't run into the road while Daniel is flying) every chance he can get. He has liked it so much that he went on to a bigger and better plane.

The Bigger and Better Plane - but not the greatest picture of it.

I have never seen Daniel enjoy a hobby so much before. You better believe that if it is a day without wind he will talk about going out and flying the plane. And you also better believe that little boys LOVE to imitate their daddies because now when Daniel comes home the first thing Zachary says to him is "Daddy, fly the airplane!" And we hear these questions at least 30 times a day: "Where's the big airplane?" "Where's the little airplane?" Wow, airplane infections are contagious among the male population.

So Daniel felt bad that we could not go out and fly the airplane every time Zachary asked, so he rigged up a flying station in our living room. He attached string to the "little airplane" and stuck it in the ceiling. Zachary loved it, despite the mishaps that occurred when it would get tangled up. It really is fun to watch these two guys together. They have a lot of fun with this new hobby they have found.
