Meeting Mr. Decker.

After walking around a bit ... we came upon this garage area where this man was working on helicopters. Griffin is not one bit shy, so he walked right up to the man working on the helicopter.

It turns out this was Mr. Decker and he owns Decker Aviation located at Suffolk Executive Airport. He was the NICEST man! Not only did he invite us in to his facility he put Griffin right up in the helicopter. He also noticed Griffin's face was kind of red, so he brought him out a Sunny D fruit drink.


Griffin is SO happy to being sitting in a helicopter!


Mr. Decker, Griffin and Mike ...


And a commercial for this very nice man!

I tell you ... the aviation community is so wonderful to kids. This weekend so many people stopped to talk to Griffin. They wanted him to experience the things they had to offer ... and they wanted him to learn as much as possible. Everyone was very, very kind. What a wonderful experience for our family.

Lightning McQueen cars selling for 50 cents, and minny crock pot dip warmers selling for $2 bucks??----you and I are living in the same universe missy. Hey out here were YARD Sales were invented, its a blood sport. I've heard stories where competing yard sales have broken into pushing and shoving matches, lawsuits, ---all over second hand used junk----the standards of the Country continue to sink lower and lower. (how much dip will that crockpot warmer hold anyway?)
