It has been a while since I've flown with Daddy (since last October), and I was very excited to go. When we took off I looked down and shouted to Mommy and Daddy, "I see HORSES! Look at all the horses!" Daddy and I both love the good vantage point we have up there.
We landed and went into the "Airport Cafe" there, where I had chicken strips and french fries, and I ate everything on my plate! I was really hungry. Maybe I'm growing! Then we went outside to look at some of the planes parked on the ramp. There were quite a few coming and leaving, and I made sure to wave to them all.
We then headed over to the museum. I wanted to see the big propeller on this A-26. It's taller than us!
When we got inside the hangar, I was immediately drawn to one specific "replica" aircraft. I wonder why?
I had fun pedaling it around, and Daddy really had his work cut out for him trying to get me to look at something else. But eventually he told me I was running out of gas and needed to head back to land. It worked!
We spent a little while at the museum, and then headed back. When we landed back home, I helped Daddy push the plane back in the hangar. I had to push hard!
On the way home we stopped by a new neighborhood playground we found out about. I got to join in with two older girls who were being chased around by a big monster (their Daddy). The three of us were have a great time running around and squealing!
Our next stop was a local nature reserve where they have some boardwalk trails through the forest (and swampland, with all the rain we've had). We saw a friendly caterpillar walking along the railing, and assuming it was trying to get to the nearest tree, Daddy let it crawl into his hand so he could help it. Of course, I thought this was pretty neat and wanted it to crawl on my hand too. It kept going up my arm, but I just giggled because it felt kind of funny! Daddy was able to put the caterpillar back on a nice big leave and it kept crawling on up the tree. I liked helping it, and hoped we would find another one!
I love flowers, and made many stops along the trail to show them to Mommy. She's pointing out a really pretty one.
I was very interested in trying to find any kind of wildlife we could. I saw some fish, a lot of birds, some deer tracks, and Mommy even saw a snake! I stared for a long while at this frog, and he stared right back!
Mommy and Daddy had a rule about "no running on the boardwalk" because I might trip and fall off and end up in the muddy water. At one point, I walked super fast ahead of them. They could tell I really, really wanted to run, but I was good and didn't. But I wanted to!
Parts of the trail were washed out due to all the rain we've had the last few months. In addition, some beavers have been busy redirecting the water, so they had some temporary walkways set up. We didn't get much farther along this trail, but after I held Daddy's hand the first time, I wanted to do it all by myself come back.
What a fun-filled day!
