Man with Flying Machine (or Tarp) Attempts High Flying Stunts

So, we took a trip to the sand dunes last week.Other than being a titch windy, the weather was perfect.Obviously, so was Clara in her moviestar sunglasses. Orville Wright, seen here, spent CONSIDERABLE time trying to get his flying machine to...fly.
His mouth stood agape at my lack of faith in attempts, theories, and engineering abilities of aforementioned inventor.
His intentions were purely scientific and thrill-seeking.
Unfortunately, at the end of the day his dream of flying,
soaring over the sand dunes, remained unrealized.Fortunately, there was plenty of sand to dig through, drifts to jump from, and other family adventures to pursue.
It was a really fun day!

Clara looks so stinkin cute. I love the first picture with her tonge sticking out. I love that girl!!!
Poor Joel, too bad his invention didn't work, I honestly can't believe it didn't! Who hasn't been able to fly with a tarp and the good wind of the dunes?
