The other day we were in the back yard BBQ-ing dinner. Hearing a plane over the house I looked skyward and saw a De Havilland Beaver coming over at about 1500ft. The pilot banked sharply and circled the house. A good afternoon for flying I didn't think much about it. Jean and I waved as the plane passed overhead. Then the plane banked sharply again and circled the yard three times. Now he had my attention. I watched the plane with interest wondering why the strange behavior. Then it dawned on me why it might be circling. Benjamin recieved a set of lazer tag guns for Christmas. This week we set up a lazer tag combat course in the back yard. The 4x4 sheets of plywood proped up with sticks were spead out over a 1/2 acre. It must have been quite a sight from the cockpit of the plane flying over. I am told we are under the flight path of Marine One on it's way to camp David from the white house. I suspect someone was making sure we we on the up and up. But still, here we are getting ready for Ben's birthday party and his Lazer Tag with his friends. I asked him to take the plywood shields down until his Birthday party lest we attrack the wrath of higher powers. One never knows these days. Anyway the boys will have a great time as we found Ben 2 more infrared lazer tag guns and now four of them can play together.
