Those of you in the Long Beach area should circle the dates of August 6 and 7 on your calendars for a family outing! A few days ago I saw that Long Beach will be part of the worldly Flugtag craziness this year. Flugtag, sponsored by Red Bull, is coming to Long Beach in the summer of 2010. Still in the early stages of planning, the weekend of August 6-7 at the Pine Avenue Pier at the Pike at Rainbow Harbor will be a buzz with Flugtag pilots. Flugtag (German for “Fly Day” or “Air Day” or “Air Show”) is an opportunity for ill-fated “pilots” in creative craft to attempt to launch off a pier – to land usually soon after in a body of water.
The event is world-wide. The cities chosen to hold the USA part of the fun this year are Long Beach, Denver, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Philidelphia and Miami. More than 80,000 people watched Flugtag in San Francisco and Portland in past years. It originally started in 1991 in Vienna, Austria, by Red Bull owner Dietrich Mateschitz.
The hilarious article that caught my attention was written by Tim Grobaty In the Long Beach Press-Telegram on Jan 14, 2010. Check it out!
Here is a video clip from various US cities in 2009.
Here are Brazil 2009 highlights!
Here are some contestants in Moscow 2008.
Willamette Week Online from Portland ,Oregon, has some behind the scene words and video from 2008 of Flugtag in Portland. It has embedded the U.S. record flying banjo set in 2007 at Red Bull Flugtag Nashville – the banjo crashed early but the flying part with pilot continued for an amzing 155 feet!
www.redbullflugtagusa.com has lots more info and videos! The other page links also have many more funny antics to watch. Enjoy!

Get Outside!! From the National Wildlife Federation website: Did you know that by the time most children go to kindergarten, they have spent more than 5,000 hours in front of a TV – and that is enough time to earn a college degree?

The 1/6/10 Oregon City News also had a front page article called A Killer Move on Dave Dahl, the founder of Dave’s Killer Bread. Dave’s Killer Bread, Nature Bake and Bob’s Red Mill are all located in Milwaukie, Oregon, not far from Austin and his family. Grandpa Ron and I are going to visit their store this afternoon when I finish writing this! Testimonials are here. Dave’s story of straightening out his life is here.

Cyndi taught Austin sign language when he was little. She is planning to teach little Abby sign language, too. The 1/6/10 Oregon City News had a lengthy article called A sign of success for babies about Shira Fogel teaching parents how to teach their toddlers sign language.
Advantages of signing with your baby from the article:
• It is a fact that babies can acquire the ability to understand language long before the muscles in their mouth enable them to actually speak.
• Research proves the gap between comprehension and speech production can be bridged by using sign language.
• Sign language helps provide an earlier foundation for language development.
• Sign language has been scientifically proven to raise IQs an average of 12 points higher than non-signing children.
• Even when children start speaking, their words are often very difficult to understand; sign language provides an additional clue to help toddlers tell you what they are trying to say. This helps tremendously in minimizing the “terrible two’s.”

Austin is having fun in Long Beach! We are headed to the Library after lunch out on the balcony. We watched the Boeing 787 initial flight video off the Boeing site about 10 times. This is instead of going to watch airplanes at the Long Beach airport….meanwhile……Abby is thinking about arriving today!
Another video Austi and I found that’s informative:
