Planes!

Ethan's favorite thing to do is go to the airport to watch the planes and we are blessed to have 2 small airports that we visit quite frequently. A couple of weeks ago, in the midst of double ear infections for both boys, Mommy loaded up the car and we had a picnic lunch while we hung out in the back and watched the planes take off.

 

 It was hard to get a good picture, but they were giving rides in a WWII mail plane and the boys were fascinated watching it take off and land.

After antibiotics kicked in, a couple of days later we headed to our other airport to play on the playground and watch the planes take off before going to our Memorial Day cookout with friends.

What a fabulous idea to have a playground at the airport for kids! We absolutely LOVE coming here. Not only do they have a playground, but you can hear the controllers directing the planes through speakers, you can sit in the stadium seating set up at the corner of the runway, hang out at the picnic tables or even under the covered pavilion! Can you say...birthday party :-)

AND there is a restaurant at the end of the runway that has a biplane that will take off and land right next to the outdoor seating area and give rides to tourists. This is Ethan's Heaven on Earth.
