Ava's First Flight on the "Big Airplane"



It was really cute hearing all about the Big Airplane for weeks leading up to today's trip to San Antonio. She did a great job. On the runway she kept asking "are we flying yet?" We'd look out the window at the ground and conclude that we weren't. Throughout the trip I explained what was coming next. Waiting for the people to load the plane. Driving around in the plane ("why do we share the runway DooDah?") Going fast. Taking off. When we finally got off the ground it warranted a look or two out the window before Aves fell asleep... it was a big day! She slept for about half of the 2 hour flight. Emme cried like crazy early which spooked both Heather and I but after a little nursing she fell asleep too. White noise rocks! When Ava woke up I pointed to things outside the plane. "Why the clouds in the ocean DooDah?" We're flying in them! "Yeah," she'd say! As we came in for landing she saw houses, lakes and trees. I explained that we'd feel bumps and then drive around for a while. Nothing spooked her. Both of the kids did a great job!
