Beautiful family, Dave. Thanks for sharing!
#2392
Two more because its so easy to post them.
#2393
Looks like bath time for one of them!! Those are the two from FL, correct? There are a couple other little ones now as well?
#2394
Yep, those are the two grand daughters from FL. The others on the couch are my son and my three grandsons. That horse is the high $$$$$$ one that no one can ride due to a back issue.

Nice photos. Horses. Now, there is an expensive hobby for you.
#2396
It is certainly not my hobby. Boarding two and all the expense that goes with it is simply a money-pit.
Example, We have a custom made saddle for that black horse that cost $3,500. Used 3 years. It's on e-bay for sale for $1,600 but we will be lucky to get half that.

OK, what am I doing wrong? I tried to add a pic to a new album in my gallery, and it says it's too large. Let me see if I can add it here. This is a pain, cause I have about 25 or so I would like to add from an airplane fly-in I attended today.
Nope. Still says it's too large. Does anyone know what the size limit is? Guess I'll have to query IB Jason...

But I was able to successfully upload them to Facebook. Here are a few I thought were noteworthy. There were some really neat airplanes at this annual fly-in at a nearby grass-strip in just across the border Maryland. Must have been over 100 planes that showed up, but I concentrated on the classic and unusual ones. Taken with my new early Christmas present Nikon D7100.
Pristine Piper Cub:
Luscombe 8F
The Spinner from ^
Stearman for Matt:
Beautiful Cessna 195
This airplane has a tragic story behind it. Two sister planes were flown by a French husband and wife team (I saw them fly many times) and they performed a beautiful aerobatic routine. During a practice flight in May of 2000, doing a routine that they had done hundreds of times, they collided in mid-air, and both were killed. I guess this was a spare aircraft, though it looks identical to the planes they flew. Quite a sad story, indeed.
Not sure what the story is about this airplane: (I think it's an Extra, but I know it's aerobatic.)
Some of the spectators watching the takeoffs & landings:
Just a couple more:
An Aviat Husky. Note the large tundra tires!
And a "P" car for Lainey
