Earning my seaplane rating in Minnesota

Having once flown on a seaplane in Australia many years ago, I've always craved flying them as a pilot. Ever since getting my pilot's license, the dream of taking controls of a seaplane finally came true this weekend.  Yes, I earned my float-plane rating with about 8 hours of flight training here in Lino Lakes, Minnesota, with Adventure Seaplanes. The training was followed by a check-ride from an FAA examiner, and voila! I became a seaplane pilot.  Here are some pics and a video from my training:
