Saturday - October 26

I can't describe the thrills, chills, emotions, tears, pride and joy that Mark and I experienced these past few days!     We were up early and at the airport as the day dawned - beautiful clear skies and so nice to have more friends come out and see the take-off.     He soared straight up to the roar of those powerful engines!    Just incredible!  

Mark and I watching as Ryan prepares for take-off

And there he goes....

 Two of the couples who came to watch the take-off asked us to join them for breakfast at CJ.s, and nice visit!
 
And now he's in Hickory, NC (45 minute flight) with Michael and family.    He had a nice welcome waiting for him at the airport, few pics and off to the soccer game!    Brady's team won 2-1 !!!!  Yeah!!!      Ryan did face time with us and we could enjoy the game from the warm confines of home.   Amazing!

Annette's parents came for a visit and we enjoyed lunch at Famous Dave's, and stops at
 Farm and Fleet and the Great Escape.

Tomorrow we are off to visit Mark's Mom.....
