I can FLY, I can FLY, I can FLY


Oh, man, we all slept so well and a little late. Parker slept on the pulled out sofa with 3 blankets under him to cushion the fairly old and well used sofa bed. Preston was on the table and very cozy. It was wonderful. We had coffee on our picnic table. Temp was probably mid-60’s. Very pleasant.

We spent some more time moving in. Finding spots for all our stuff. Ray and Parker took showers at the bath house. I showered in the RV.

Then off to I-Fly Utah. Way cool! We paid $185 to go in a sky diving simulator for 10 minutes! There were a total of 7 in our group. We saw an introductory video and got some hand-signal instructions from Dusty our instructor. Next we all were suited with earplugs, goggles, helmets, and flight suits. We were styling! Time to fly! The other 3 went first, then Ray, Parker, Preston, and me. We went 1 minute each then went a second round. Preston had a little trouble since he was so light. Ray and Parker did well but I was a natural. He let me fly some on my own up above the windows! We each got to go one more minute. Preston’s asthma kicked in so he skipped his turn and let Parker go instead. This time Dusty flew with us and took us really high. Since I was doing well he taught me how to turn and spin. A video came with our package.

We went back to the RV for lunch and then headed out for Idaho. Idaho Falls to be exact. About 160 miles. We have no fear since “Betsy”, our Garmin, is guiding us every step of the way.
At the Snake River RV Campground the boys took a quick dip in the very cold pool before dinner.

We’ll be up and going early tomorrow. We are going to Grand Tetons and want to get there in time to do some things. Since we will be in Grand Teton I’m not sure what of internet service I will have, if any.

So here’s the answer to yesterday’s question about how much we spent at Wal-Mart on
Sunday…$533 was the total for both of our trips.
