Jets!!!

This morning we had to go pick up a taste-test for Joshua to test at home so I thought it might be fun to visit the airport viewing area. The weather seemed to be cooperating as well since it was a just below 70 degrees with very little wind and clear skies. So off we went. The boys ate their snack, played, ran around and got to watch lots of little airplanes, jets and helicopters take off and land.

One of the helicopters we watched kept taking off, going around in circles and landing again. At one point when we were sitting right by the fence at the edge of the viewing area the helicopter flew right by very close to the ground, went forward, then flew backwards and went in a circle. The boys couldn't take their eyes off of that helicopter! There were a couple of airport workers walking by the viewing area on a break and asked the boys how they liked the helicopter and told them it was showing off just for them (and all the others at the viewing area).



Since Joshua loves jets I have a feeling we will be visiting the viewing area quite frequently this summer. Maybe someday he will get to ride on a jet - oh what a thrill that would be!
