Click here to keep updated! I can't even begin to explain how random life can be.  But this picture should pretty much explain it all!  Talk about a lucky find!   While I was getting a little girl time with my friend, Jen, Scott drove the boys to the airport where there was an event going on.  This even included FREE flying around the island!  Eli got to sit in the front seat AND FLY THE PLANE!! How fun to be able to fly around the island.  You could see everything, the people, the pools, the historic fort.  It was super cool.   Both Eli and Enzo got to log their flying hours and each got a certificate for the day!
