Come Fly Away

Last weekend, we took a "field trip" to the executive airport, which is only about a half mile from our house. While we regularly see the planes flying overhead we have not previously had the opportunity to see the up close and personal. It was a nice day so we were able to sit outside, which meant the girls and Will could run/crawl around without bothering anybody (a real bonus in this particular instance because a party of about 50 people arrived right before we did so our service was painfully slow). Natalie and Amanda pulled some chairs up to the wall so they could see the planes coming in and out.




Given how slow the service was, we were "lucky" enough to see many planes take off and land, including the one in the pictures, which belonged to a very nice retired couple who were flying from their winter home in Mexico to their regular home in Oregon, along with their nice dog, Angus!




They were even nice enough to offer to take our picture. The only way we could get everyone looking at the camera at the same time was to point at the airplanes! There they are!!



Here is the little guy too, trying to be like the big kids and showing that he had a great time on our field trip!
