Awesome Date

Well thanks to the Relief Society Auction and the Zohners, Mark and I had an awesome date today!! Other than the weather being really cold it was an experience not to forget!  Here are some snapshots of the voyage:
Our trusted pilot-Nicolas Zohner (funny story about how long the propeller took to get going but once that happened it was smooth sailing!!)

He was even brave enough to let me fly the plane for a couple of minutes-exhilarating but scary!!  The smallest of turns was easily felt!!
Mark was "stuck" in the back.  He said he's been in a small plane before so this trip was all for my experience.  

The view of Rexburg from the plane (we flew out the Rexburg airport).  We flew over Kelly Canyon and followed the River back toward Rigby and then Rexburg. 

The "Papa Smurf" plane-thanks again Zohners!! (Natalie watched the 3 youngest while we were gone)

I am glad you had fun. I went on a small airplane date in highschool that resulted in me turning green and vomiting. The guy was really impressed. :)
