Helicopter Ride!!!

A friend of ours is training to be a helicopter pilot and today was our lucky day! He invited us to go on a ride in the helicopter with him. He was with an instructor and had to fly by only looking at the control panel (he was wearing a special blindfold and couldn't look out the windows the whole trip). Anyway, we got to enjoy the ride in the backseat and spent about 2 hours in the air. It was a first for both of us and we had a great time. It was fun to see the valley from a bird's eye view. We were both surprised at how much water winds its way through this valley. It was beautiful even covered in snow. An aerial view of the great town of Newton (my home town)!
The city pool near our house. I was a little too slow to get one over our house.

    That's so cool. Great pictures. I went on a helicopter ride with my little brother as the pilot. He took me up for 1/2 hour. But 2 hours would've been really cool. It's a fun thing to be in a helicopter. Just fun to see so much!
