Drone Day at the Park with the Niece & Nephew and Steemit bought the Ice Cream!
Greetings Steemit!
After some crazy weather passed through town this past weekend - we're looking down the barrel of a gloriously beautiful day here in Springfield MO.
To celebrate this gift: I decided to meet my Sister & her children at the park.. and if you've been following my Steemit posts these past few weeks.. YOU KNOW I HAD to bring my camera drone.
Below are those results.
Drone assembly on a park bench. The Nephew asked many questions about every step along the way. Class has begun.

Bird in the air = Tutorial in process. Nephew made for a very attentive and responsible student.

Time to pass the remote - Nephew was very excited! Niece seeing that her brother is interested, is now interested herself.

Niece's Turn - She paid attention for 2 seconds before asking "Baby's turn to fly?", meaning her doll.

When I said "No cutie, baby's too young to fly" Niece decides she would rather play in a tree.

Nephew steps back up for Round 2. He wants to know more about the drone so I start showing him how the camera works. (Quadcopter View)

He then asks to "Go Really High & Take a Picture" so we ascend to about 150' and he snaps this pic.

Nephew asks to see it "Go Really Far!" so I assume control and take it for a quick spin around the park. (39 second video)
And for our victory lap - Ice Cream! Notice the Nephew's Ice Cream Face.

What they don't realize is that the Ice Cream was paid for by the earnings of this Steemit post, in which I closed that past post saying that I would do so. Today was that day - and I thank Steemit for being a small part of this fun family memory.
Cheers Steemit!

You have a great time! Thank you for sharing your story with us.
thanks for sharing. i like
You're welcome. You have a lot of great sky pics on your blog too!
So after all that droning, what is the verdict, Flat or Round?
You've seen higher/further than I have - you tell me?
I never saw a curve.
The ocean looked very level,
except where the water was spilling over the edge,
that part was crazy!
Drones and nephews are great! THANK YOU FOR THIS!
Thanks Homie!
