Helicopter Rides




Birthdays galore these days. Drake turns 10 on the 7th of May, Alden 8 on the 30th of April and Grandma celebrated her birthday on the 14th of April. To celebrate, Grandma bought tickets for the family to take a helicopter ride over the city of Wellington. The trip included a landing along the coast to see a seal colony. Marc quickly realized that someone had to stay behind, drink coffee and read one of the dailies while others dallied in the air, and volunteered to do just that. No complaints. The four rough riders found the helicopter ride absolutely exhilarating while Marc found the newspapers fascinating and somewhat safer too! That's Grandma seated upfront in the envious position of "shotgun".
