True . . . I never expected to go swimming in Moosup Pond again but I did! Kiddo and I got back from Groton in the early afternoon yesterday and after playing Bongo Ball, he won 2 out of 3, we decided to test the waters. It was hot and definitely summery. There were quite a few families but we found a place to park in the shade and a spot on the beach and dove right in. He loved it! He's only been in pools or at the ocean so this was new. We stayed about an hour and a half. I finally got out and watched him sidle his way into a ball game in the water! "Good times!" as Kiddo says when he quotes his big brother. After supper Grampa brought us to Brooklyn International where Kiddo flew his plane and had a chance to watch Steve fly his good sized helicopter in some amazing twists, falls, loops and upside downs. We were all fascinated but to top it off Steve went with Kiddo to marvel at the plane Grampa had made for him and they watched together as Grampa showed what you can do with control line aircraft. Fantastic manoeuvres: over head eights, side eights, upside down, inside loops, outside loops, square eights, triangles and more. We had two impressive shows. Kiddo found out that many RC Flyers practice on simulators so I guess we'll have to see what's available! When we got home, after an ice cream stop at RaRa's, the kid decided he should practice flying the big planes on the simulator upstairs! So heat, fans and all he spent some time flying, landing in the woods and crashing. But, it was fun.
I'll go to the fireworks tonight with him so it'll be a late one.
