Slow Down Sister

My oldest daughter has always shown the most interest in doing the things her papa does, from taking a nap to flying an airplane.
On our last trip back home from Palmer she got to sit in the copilot seat. She was excited to be able to control the airplane, the only trouble was she was sitting a little low to be able to see over the instrument panel. I used my hand as a "flight director" so she would know when to turn, climb, or descend. Using this "technique" she was able to navigate us through the mountains of Lake Clark Pass. We also would take turns pointing out any and all waterfalls we would see along the way.

  2. Haven't checked in here for awhile. Does sister's buddy here in KS have a future in flying if he's becoming an expert at Mario Cart? :)
