Up Up and Away!

It is a rare experience for Dave and I to have the same day off. This Thursday we got to spend the entire day together! We started the day off by just enjoying each others company at home. Then we drove to Morgan and took a plane ride. Dave’s sister and her husband own a plane and they offered to take us for a ride. It was really fun. Dave and Aaron went on a flight first.

McKay really liked watching them take off and land. He knew DADDY was in the plane. Then it was our turn. McKay was a little nervous at first and just sat still not really moving. He loosened up a little towards the end. Even though Aaron put a couple booster seats underneath him I don’t think he could see out and so he really didn’t grasp that he was in the airplane it probably just felt like a car ride to him.

At the hanger they have a bunch of cool stuff like an old car, a boat, a couple airplanes. One of the airplanes was built just for little kids, it doesn’t have an engine but it has a control panel and control stick.

We put McKay in and were just going to push him around but he was not too thrilled and just wanted out. (In his defense he had just woken up).

This was a forest service fire plane that was at the airport.

They let us climb in and take a look.

It holds about 14 people.

Look at all the buttons.

After we left Morgan we had a picnic at the park. Probably not the best idea McKay ate about three bites and then was off to play. We had so much fun playing on the playground and swinging. Dave even tried to teach McKay how to roll down the hill. Dave rolled first and I wanted to record but he made me promise I wouldn't.

McKay was exhausted after that so it was nap time. We finished the day off playing games at grandma and grandpa Grondels house. I love days like this, it is easy to forget all the other things that are going on in life and just enjoy my boys!
