Flying with Mommy and Daddy

Today was a great day!  This morning we all went flying down to a medium-large fly-in near Cincinatti.  Of course Daddy was really excited for us all to go, since it had been a while.

Before we went, though, as we were getting ready, I had a visitor at the window - Brayden came over from next door to say hi!  Daddy and Mommy thought this was pretty funny, I'm already having boys calling up to me through the window.  Just wait another few years!  You can also see my one front tooth that fell out last week.  The next one is almost ready to go, too!


When we got to the airport, we found that a family of birds must have wanted to move in to the tailcone of the airplane.  Lots of twigs back there.  Since I have the smallest hands, I went right to work digging it all out.  There was a lot!


When we got close to the traffic pattern at the airport, we could tell that it was pretty busy!  There were lots and lots of airplanes all over the place trying to follow each other down to land.  Daddy and I have an agreement that I get a quarter for every aircraft I see in the air when we're flying.  I made a killing today, three dollars!  Mommy and I were a great help to Daddy spotting planes.

At the fly-in, I really liked this airplane.  It was smiling!  And it's a Piper too!


This one was a perfect fit for me.


It was a nice time down there, but we had to get back because we were having company over this afternoon.  So we headed back, and when we landed, I helped Daddy put the plane away.  I like being his helper, and I'm getting really good at doing things like putting the cowling plugs in all by myself!
