Eli's First Flight ... with Poppi

October is a great month to go flying, so we took it upon ourselves to head out to my Dads and hang out at the airport on a beautiful weekend.  The weather was amazing, still flip flop weather, but not sweating!  We headed out to the airport, ate Coopers BBQ and went flying.  Pretty good day!
Everley testing out the red airplane.  This was originally Aslynn's and now the 5th grandchild is able to have fun with it.


Eli going to see the big airplanes with Grammi in his little airplane
COOPS!!!! Doesn't get any better than this.

Watching airplanes, while sitting in an airplane, while sitting by a tractor = my boys dream come true 

Eli took his first flight with Poppi!  He did GREAT and had so much fun.  He kept looking back and me and give his sweet giggle, like "look at me, look at what we are doing?!?"  He was mesmerized!


We went up in one of the original Gist airplanes.  This Cessna has been in the family as long as I can remember.

He was sooo happy!


Ugh - mom fail!! I realized looking back at some of these pictures that I was squishing his ear with the headset almost the entire time... sorry buddy! 


Loved looking down and counting the cars and boats.


We landed and had a great time!! Thanks Poppi!!
Meanwhile, after all was said and done, who doesn't love a good nap with the fan going under the airplane wing.
