Chop Chop!!

About a year ago a new family moved into our ward. They moved to Kearney because the husband got a job as a helicopter pilot for the hospital. Steve, of course, had to ask for a ride if there was ever a time to do so. Well, this past week Br. Kennedy called up Steve and said that the helicopter was at the airport for maintenance and needed to be returned to the hospital and therefore asked if Steve would like to ride along (along with the rest of the family). Luckily it was a Wednesday morning when Steve doesn't see patients. So within 15 minutes of the call we were all at the airport waiting for our cool ride over Kearney. Preston was actually at a day camp, so Emmalynn took his spot.

I didn't tell the kids where we were headed, but they were very excited when they finally discovered what we were doing.
There was only two headsets and lucky Kari got to where one of them. Braden and Emmalynn just got earplugs. We were able to talk to our pilot and "co-pilot" throughout the trip.
Braden didn't get to wear them during the flight but wanted to try them on after we landed.

Steve was VERY excited to help fly the helicopter. He did an excellent job hovering at the airport and then was able to fly over our house. He thought he was pretty cool.

This is our neighborhood. Steve flew directly over our home so I wasn't able to see it.

This is an aerial view of Kearney. Isn't it beautiful?!

Thank you Br. Kennedy for an awesome experience. Let us know when you need more assistance. :)
