Day 680: Visiting Uncle Lyle’s Farm

Today we drove out to visit Uncle Lyle’s Farm, which has been in Tricia’s family for over 100 years.  Uncle Lyle loaded up B and Trish and her sister in the back of the utility vehicle, and M and I rode with Grandpa Glenn on the ATV:

While the adults chatted, M and B took turns driving the ATV around the farm:

In the evening, I drove out to an ultralight field near Wausau.  Between family members and the owners of the field, we had a bit of a crowd:

The wind was strong and changing directions, so the first two launches didn’t work out, but the third one was good:

There were nice sunset views to be had once airborne:

The ride was not at all smooth, so I came down pretty quick.  The landing was just fine:
