Della's First Apple Sauce:)

Della didn't quite know what to think about her first taste of apple sauce. She loves her rice cereal, but this stuff seemed to give her the "pee shivers", haha

Della has been doing this funny thing with sucking in her top lip and making a loud smacking noise with it.....we thought it was funny:)

Brad's Helicopter Excursion!

This was the first landing zone that we had. I expected all of them to be this way...nice open flat areas for us to land - Iwas mistaken, as is shown in the following videos. This video is one of the surveyor equipment that they would fly in after they took a couple surveyors to the site.



Coming in to Structure 58. These canyons get a lot of wind, so as we were coming up to this landing zone there was a cliff that we hoped didn't have wind coming up it.

This landing zone had the skids of the helicopter off the hill on the front side and trees near the tail rotar.

Structure 56. This landing zone was right next to an adjacent transmission line....one gust of wind and bzzzzz. :) (that was for Amber-she loves all of these videos, ha)

Of all the sites, this one was the craziest. We literally landed on a little outcropping of rocks with a cliff on both sides of the helicopter. After we landed we had to just crouch down while the helicopter took off because there was no where for us to walk. Also, notice that the hillside has an embankment of rocks to the uphill side where the rotars were only a few feet from hitting the rocks. This was also the site that we had to wait about an hour and a half for the helicopter to come back and one of the guys had a temperature gauge that read 122 deg. I only got a picture of it at 116 deg:)....it was hot!
