a fabulous 4th {stearman field}

On Saturday evening, after Aunt Laura had arrived, we went to an exciting dinner at Stearman Field in Benton, KS. Stearman Field is a small airport, with a restaurant on site, and serves delicious burgers, fries, and drinks. And, when you see a plane about to land or take off, you can run outside and watch. (That is by far, the best part!!)

 Claire, me, Aunt Laura
 Grayson, Mom, Carter
 Splitting a cheeseburger with airplanes landing in the background... livin' the dream!
 Brett & Claire
 David & Kristen
 So, we all decided that in celebration of Brett's new position with Holly-Frontier, he needed to take a ride with one of the official Stearman in a bi-plane. We completely surprised Brett, and he was thrilled!
 Dad got to pump the gas before they took off...
 Brett's in the front seat!
 And off they go!

 sisters! AL and Mom
 The bi-plane that Brett is riding in is high in the sky while another bi-plane does a "touch and go" and blows all this billowing smoke! Amazing...

 Brett and Dad with the boys -- not sure who is the most excited here ;)
What a fun celebration!! Congrats, Brett, on your new job! What an answer to prayer!!
