High Flying Birthdays

Today was a big day, so there are lots of pictures to go along with this blog. First of all it was Husbands birthday. Happy Birthday Husband. And because its been about 2 months since he got any flying done, he decided to spend part of his special day up in the cloudless sky. But he was not alone. Both my dad and my brother had the honor of joining him on his expedition. Such a lads day out playing with the big boy toys, honestly, they couldn't have been happier.

This is "Foxy", the plane that brings Husband so much joy.

Dad and Husband do the final checks on "Foxy" before they get ready for the off.

The pilot/birthday boy is focused and ready.

Conor (my brother) and Dad have the ear-muffs on and secure all windows and doors for departure.

There they go.

Later in the evening we threw Husband a little BBQ/birthday party.

The cake was ablaze from the sheer number of candles necessary to represent his age.

Chocolate cake, I wonder who chose that?!?

And it wouldn't be a party without a Jack Sparrow piñata.

Husband and intern Gordy hook up the piñata so we can all get a good crack at him.

Husband gets his mandatory spins before he is let loose on Jack Sparrow.

A couple of good spanks and Jack was injured pretty bad.

Then mam stepped up to give him a few smacks and sent much of the candy flying.

Finally, Conor stepped up to finish poor Jack off.

A brutal decapitation.

Poor Jack.




But the scavengers were more worried about grabbing all the candy.
