One of my baby birds spread his wings yesterday and flew off to the wide open prairies of Manitoba....'Going to Winnipeg' as we now say.
He is going on a camping adventure with his Grandparents for a few days which suits his personality to a 'T'.
That boy likes his camping. He has spent many a nights with the tent pitched in the back yard, I think he would live out there permanently if we let him.
He has been enrolled in grade 7 outdoor ed for the past year with his grades reflecting his love of the outdoors, next year they are building winter survival shelters...interesting.
But for now he is in Winnipeg, his very first solo airplane ride now under his belt, he will be visiting some family and most importantly his Great Grandma while there before they head out for 4 nights of camping fun.
According to the photo I just received on my cell phone with a text message telling me he is spending his first morning hanging over the roof top of a ten story building, I think he's in good hands and I have nothing to worry about.....!! 
YAY! look Dan survived the inaugural solo flight! nice job buddy! He is cut from the same cloth as that granddad of his isn't he? camping and mosquitos. lovely. NOW STEP AWAY FROM THE LEDGE CHILD, OR YOUR MOM IS GOING TO LOCK YOU IN YOUR BEDROOM!
