A memorable trip.....

Last weekend we went to Coeur d'Alene, Idaho to watch Meranda play softball. Her team split with NIC (North Idaho College) winning 2 and losing 2. They had not lost a game since February 13th. They had already taken first place in their conference - the SWAC - and will be hosting the conference tournament this week. If they win they - on to Nationals in St. George May 14-16.

The memorable part of the trip was how we got there. We ended up being flown on a "six seater" one propeller plane by a client of Evan's - Rob Brady - who says he is a pilot that happens to be an engineer. We met him at the Million Air airport Thursday afternoon and boarded the plane bound for Coeur d'Alene.

Not long after takeoff, Parker started getting air sick - hadn't even thought about that happening. Well - there were no barf bags to be found so I emptied one of our "treat bags" and put it to good use. Parker was green and watned to get off the plane. I told him that it was just like riding the "Tower of Terror" at Disneyland - only longer. We made a stop in Twin Falls so that he could "get his feet under him". We found the barf bags and after the pit stop, the ride was much better and we arrived in Coeur d'Alene about 10:00 p.m. - much quicker than the 10+ hour drive home.

It was a trip to remember......
