Eric is done!!!!

Congrats mein Schatz! Eric had his check flight yesterday. That means he is done with flight school!!!!! I am sooooo proud of my C12 pilot- he'll come home next week Saturday - I am very antsy already and can't wait to see him!!!!
Here're some pics he sent me:


Eric and the C12


I think you're not supposed to joke around during your check flight like that but the instructor was checking some other things and didn't see Eric goofing around ;)


Eric and Bobby.

Papa and the dogs

Every morning Papa and I go with Nelson to the dogpark. It's always great there- the people and dogs are very friendly. We are having a lot of fun watching the dogs play and talking to the owners. Papa got some treats and takes a bunch of them to the park...every day...so does Mr. Zimmermann (the older guy with the hat). Here're some pics of Papa and his new friends:

Nelson- not interested in treats...but fences

Vegas, Baby, Vegas

From Thursday until Saturday Papa and I stayed at the Mirage in Vegas!!! It was awesome!!! The hotel was huuuge- our room was on the 18th floor all the way at the end of one of the wings. Somebody probably thought we didn't do enough walking during our trip?!







We immediately started exploring (and gambling!!!) the casinos and different hotels. Papa was overwhelmed!....and positively surprised as he found out that once you play you get free drinks!!!







The next day we continued exploring, gambling and having fun.









We also met/saw some nice people/creatures like the blue m&m and Heidi Klum!!!





All in all we had a fantastic time in Vegas- here are some more fun pics from our trip-

L.A.

On Monday we took off to L.A. While in one of the craziest cities I've ever seen we resided directly above Hollywood Blv on Highland Ave. That same day we explored the area and did some fun things like eat a lot (and get really fat), stacking golf balls and meeting some nice people









The next day we took a tour with "L.A. City Tours"



First the guide took us to Venice beach/muscle beach









Then we saw soooooo many houses of stars/actors or famous/rich/... people that we can't really remember who lives in what house but here're some pics of them (maybe you remember some of them???)











Of course those famous sights followed:











There are many more pictures and stories but first Papa and I have to work on our impressions for while before we can go on telling all the stories...so stay put for more!!!!
