So this is the weekend that symbolizes the beginning of summer, the planting of many lovely little annuals and the celebration of a dead Queen!!Dwayne has been away (more on that later) so I have been trying to come up with fun things to do with the kids. Last night we went to Earl's for Chili Chicken and Caesar Salad 
and then off to Castle Fun Park for fun and candies. Today was the May Day Parade in Fort Langley. I thought it would be a fun idea to go and watch the festivities.
and then off to Castle Fun Park for fun and candies. Today was the May Day Parade in Fort Langley. I thought it would be a fun idea to go and watch the festivities. We started earlier than normal because Dwayne was supposed to be coming into the Abby airport. When we found out that he had diverted to Qualicum Beach we headed to the parade route. We got premium parking and very good seats...all of that didn't matter with 1 1/4 hours to sit and watch cars go by!!!
The parade was great and we had found a spot in front of a church that had a real potty and even provided free hot dogs and pop for lunch...SCORE!!
When the parade was finished, we headed to the airport to pick up Dwayne.
Alright now the deal with Dwayne. You see, a couple of years ago I gave him a flying lesson for his Fathers Day gift. Chilliwack Flying school does it for $50 and includes a 1hour class instruction and 1 hour in the plane... what a deal! Well, he was hooked!!! So I suppose, it's all my fault (is that what the good wife says!?!).
He left on Mothers Day morning for London Ontario to pick up his new plane...yes you read right! He will be a 1/3 share in this plane but, he was the guy to go and pick it up as he was the one that ordered and started the process. On Friday, the 18th, he left London bound for home. We expected him in late Saturday but weather was not on his side. I will post an email he sent regarding Devil's Lake, North Dakota. After overnighting in Devil's Lake, th
en in Lethbridge, then in Kamloops, he headed for home this morning. With a call at 7:30am that said "we'll be in at 9:00". The kids and I headed off as I really wanted to get pics of the first flight into Abby. They had to bypass and searched for a hole to come through the clouds (he is currently visual, not instrument flying), they ended up in Qualicum Beach.

It was a very long wait for him to get home, but he's here now and I have time to sit and watch tv...it's so good to have him home!!
