airplane museum (18 march)

we had a great time visiting the airplane museum, though i must admit i didn't really take the time to read anything about the planes/etc, i had fun taking pictures :) here are a few of my favorites


ready to climb aboard?!

that's right folks, i even got in a pic or two ;) one of my fav helicopters

malachi had a blast once we got to the play area

fortunately for him, dad and grandpa went off to the computer flight simulator, so the kids had plenty of time to play around. i think they (especially chi) would have been happy to spend the entire time here!

welcome captain chi!

flying another plane!
 
we were fortunate to go on a day that had special tours. there were two WWII fighter planes there that we could climb through and see. i think this was the highlight for everyone except chi.

rayna sure knows how to make that plane look big, but i couldn't believe how narrow they were inside, and they must have been amazingly loud and bumpy!
 
fortunately, afton got a turn with the camera, and she caught grandpa in his true character :)
we sure had a great time visiting, and i imagine the adults at least had a renewed respect and appreciation for the WWII fighters that worked these tiny planes to serve and protect our country! thanks again grandpa for taking us.
