Tobin and Erin

We had the pleasure of entertaining Tobin’s parents, Mike & Jacque, for Labor Day weekend.  We had a great time!  We celebrated Jacque’s birthday with a double layer chocolate cake with chocolate ganache and raspberry filling (it was a little lopsided, but tasty!).  Our two major activities were going on a dolphin cruise (and visiting the house of throwed rolls!) and trying out a local shooting range.

Here are some awesome videos of the dolphins:

I realized after talking to my sister-in-law today that some of you hadn’t realized Tobin was already in Intermediate. Yep, he finished Primary a few days before Labor Day weekend, and started Intermediate this past Tuesday. They are pushing the guys right through; Tobin is in the visual navigation stage, and they are already done with ground school and one simulator. He has a few more sims next week and then he starts flying again. It’s going so quickly now! One of Tobin’s classmates’ wife also keeps a blog, and she gives a good description of what training is like at this point for the guys. Be sure to check it out!

I have updated the About Us page, it has some info on Intermediate and Advanced as well.  Keep an eye open for pictures and videos from our most recent visit (Tobin’s parents).  Teaser: there are dolphins involved!
