Owen got a gift certificate for his Birthday from his Godfather to take a small plane ride through Lakeshore Aviation, and we finally had a free weekend to do it. It went really good, very smooth, It did clear up on Saturday, but the pilot (Mr. Wheeler) called us right around 9:30 (which we almost were going to call back) but he said we made a good decision because it was windy, he asked if we wanted to do it on Sunday instead, which we weren’t sure when we would have been able to reschedule, but glad we did. At least the sun wasn’t blinding us and it was nice for Owen. He loved it!!! He thought it was pretty cool. He got to sit by himself on a cushion in the back with me and we both had a great view that way. He would point things out to me like the red barns, and small lakes and I would show him stuff. Then we were over our house so we were checking for Neighbor Tom waving on the deck, too cute, he starts waving out the window. He thought that was cool. Then the grandparent’s houses and even Isabella’s (to see how they were getting ready for the party), then went over the lake, and he got nervous, and I think it was because I tensed up (you know how I hate flying over water – YIKES), so he grabbed onto me after that, but we settled down, tried to see McDonalds but he couldn’t see the arches so I didn’t bother telling him. But showed him the boats sitting outside the harbor. Then back over Manitowoc, but close to the 30 mins he was asking to go down, then asked where the airport was, and at least we were close enough to see it so he was watching it then, and asking where the other planes were. Landing was okay, I thought he would get scared, but he said it was Fun, that’s when he said he wanted to do it again – lol to funny. We told him soon.
