Graham had the most amazing luck!! After church, he begged to go to Grandma and Grandpa Romersberger's house for a while. My mom told him it would be boring b/c she was doing a Bible Study on Esther and my dad was going to take a nap. All the way home, he was teasing that he wasn't sure what to do...watch a movie, play rock band or help Grandma with Esther. As they pulled in the driveway, a helicopter flew over really low and circled around. My dad's cell phone was ringing and it was a corn grower from Manito that gets his helicopter fixed over this way and had to go pick it up this weekend. He was wondering if Dad wanted a ride. Talk about being in the right place at the right time!! Dad and Grham hopped in...still in their church clothes and took off!!!! I was talking to mom on the phone when all this happened and we drove out to see the landing! Once in a lifetime experience!!
It landed right in my parents yard
I have never been in a helicopter so I was quite jealous! I was so thankful that Graham got this experience. He owns quite a few models and remote-controlled planes and helicopters and has learned how difficult it is to take off without crashing!! It was a great afternoon and he didn't even have to help Grandma with her Bible Study!!
That's awesome! I saw them flying around and figured it was photographers taking pictures to try and sell to us country dwellers, that cost a fortune! Glad it was Graham instead:)
ReplyDeleteThat is really, really cool! Thanks for sharing this - so happy for Graham!
ReplyDeleteThat is funny! Andy and I noticed that helicopter flying over Gridley on our way home from church. Little did we know that Graham and Ron were in it. What a neat experience!
