A NEW TOY....

He has received a new toy....
Not one he expected or had even wanted....
Pete and Maria decided that it might come in handy when we do our big lap and so bought it for Steve for his big birthday this year.....

It arrived last week....

Couldn't wait to get it home and open it...

Plenty of tape wrapped around it...

Not all all easy to get into....

He's wearing a big grin.....

I'd say he was EXCITED.....

Unpacking it....

Do you think he is a happy chappy

I'd say he was very happy

His brand new Drone...

 He spent two nights reading up on it and loading apps....
He watched lots of YouTube videos about flying one....
And then on the weekend, it went on it's maiden flight....

 We were in Brissie for the weekend as we had to take the caravan down to have its final modifications done on the van...  Chloe had flown up from Melbourne to surprise us and what a wonderful SURPRISE it was.....

On Sunday we headed to Underwood Park where Steve was going to learn to fly it.....

Ready to fly his drone for the first time...

Showing Chloe how it all works...

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5. 4. 3. 2.  1...... Blast off...

Max was a little unsure....

such a happy little chappy

Penny was unsure of this new wild bird that would take off....

Blowing bubbles with Aunty Chloe

 Sarah got to have a bit of a fly....

The drone coming into land..

 It was rather a special day...
Looking forward to seeing the overcome of some of the landmarks we are about to come across on our travels.
