Lennard has wanted to take the kids flying for a long time and finally, today, his dream came true! We went out to the airport this afternoon so that Lennard could do some circuits while the kids and I visited with my mom and dad. He went around twice and then came in to land. When Emma saw him come in she wanted a ride so bad that Lennard decided to see how she would do just taxiing around the tarmac. She did great, so up they went! They did one circuit and then landed, but Emma had a blast! She saw us waving at her in front of the hangar as they flew past and when Lennard told her to wave back she called out, “Hi, Puppies!” Not quite sure where she got that one from, but we laughed just the same!
Ben woke up from being asleep in the van just as they were taking off and he was pretty determined that he was going to get a turn to “Fly Airplane!” as well. As soon as they had landed, Ben was on the move to get his turn in the airplane! We were a little worried that he would try to grab the stick, but Lennard said he did great. It was his very first flight! I don’t think there will be any stopping him now… these kids have the flying bug and I don’t have an antidote!
