Ziden's Mom, works for one of the new apartment complex's in the area, so the party was held at the club house/pool of the apartments. When I dropped Sean (the neighbor kid) and Derek off at the party, I was so impressed. These were extremely nice apartments, The common areas, front office, parking...WOW. Really nice for apartments. I left the boys and pick them up a few hours later. When I picked them up the pool had changing LED lights going, and all of the boys were having a blast in the hot tub. Derek, and Sean had a great time, and most of Derek's best friends were there as well. They are a good group of boys and they had a fabulous time, eating pizza and playing the pool. It was kind of a nice change. Pool are parties are a regular thing here in the summer, but it was a nice change to get to have one in January.
After a late Friday night, Derek had to get up early and head over to the Chandler Airport to work on his Aviation Merit Badge. I'm not quite sure how this came about but two Gentlemen from our Stake who own planes were going to help the boys with the Merit Badge. The thing that baffles me is how small a group there was. If I have my facts straight only a few boys were invited, which makes sense because these are small planes. I don't know how they decided who got invited I'm just grateful Derek was on the list.
Derek was really looking forward to this, and he enjoyed the experience, but there was a huge bummer. Derek lost his ipod. He took it so he could take pictures, he did take some pictures from the plane, but then noticed it was missing after he left the plane. After a few phone calls, several searches, and many prayers. The ipod was recovered. We are so grateful to Jim Price, the man who owned the plane,who went back and searched his plane twice.
Now it truly was a successful and happy ending.
