A Trip to the Airport

Allison has been very fascinated by airplanes lately. Whenever we are outside and she sees one, we have to stop what we are doing and watch it fly by. If she hears one while we are in the house, she stops playing and points to the ceiling and says 'pane". So we decided to take a trip out to the airport viewing area so she could get an up close view of them.

The trip was a success. Allison really enjoyed watching the planes. Amelia never knew we were there as she fell asleep on the way there and didn't wake up until we were putting Allison back in the car. Afterwards we took them to the park so Allison could burn off some energy before bedtime.

Watching it go high in the sky.

Finally after waiting a long time a plane comes in for a landing.

A landing plane is much louder than one taking off. Allison about jumped into Brian's arms when the plane went by. After that though, she knew to cover her ears.
