I’m so thrilled that Vyctor is all fixed – this meant Mike and I could fly over some Victoria Day fireworks. The weather looked kinda meh for Monday, so we decided to lift off yesterday. The show over Niagara Falls was scheduled for 10:00pm. I almost showed up at the airport in my jammies!
We got little Vyctor checked out and ready to rock:
The flight was great – very smooth and clear.
We tried to get pics of the fireworks but they didn’t turn out too well. Take my word, they were awesome! Here’s a shot Mike took of the Falls though:
We came back in for a landing after about an hour long flight:
The timing of the night worked out perfectly. There was another Flying Club plane flying after 10:00pm, so there were still folks at the Club. This meant little Vyc got to be put back in the hangar before we left:
I have to admit something – I committed a terrible act of terribleness this weekend. I’m super sensitive when it comes to animals, to the point where I can’t even harm an insect. However, I noticed my little gecko Zim was looking a tad peckish. I thought I could fix this by offering him some noms:
I thought he would just say “Hello! I’ll maybe snack on you later.” Nope. Chomped him right out of my fingers. Looked quite content after:
Poor cricket dude.
There was another more innocent offering the next night, with wee Abby:
I swear I raised her to be a lady. Not sure what happened.
Another classy lady is Pinky, who decided to freak Mike and I out while we were watching a spooky movie. The balcony door was open and she jumped up on the air conditioner and did this:
Really? That’s totally creepy. Thank goodness she’s so cute.
Speaking of cute, check out this pile of adorableness:
Mike and I had to stop off at the pet store this weekend, as I needed more crickets for the two geckos. I accidentally left with crickets and a cool platform for Zim’s tank. Oops:
Needless to say, after the platform and ramp we installed last week, Zim’s tank is full out awesome. No more room for anything else…..or is there?
Today’s symptoms: Felt pretty good but sorta drained. It’s been a long but wonderful weekend and kinda took it’s toll. It’s all good though – totally worth it.
