One of B’s favorite childhood pastimes flying model airplanes with his dad and brothers.    We took his ”mini plane”  (as I call it) for a short flight yesterday morning.

B tried to climb this tree after getting the plane stuck in a branch.  It was a team effort to get it down – I ended up on his shoulders knocking it off the branch with a long umbrella.

Crash landing.

A little confession (pun intended) - I love all things that are mini.   Miniature farm animals, miniature food, miniature household items… you get the picture.  I have a hard time passing up anything that is mini at the store.  I found this cute little cheese shredder at World Market the other day and couldn’t say no.  I don’t think I will use it for cheese but maybe it would work for recipes that call for orange or lemmon zest.
