Today was my favorite Wednesday so far (I know we’re only 3 Wednesday’s in AND I didn’t even blog last Wednesday yet – but I loved today!)
Maci called the shots today. This morning she woke up and asked if she could have some of that “coco-melon” – what? She meant pineapple, so we started the day slicing the pineapple (something neither Maci or I knew how to do). It got a little wild.
After we cleaned the pineapple mess up I told her it was our adventure day, and she could pick where we went! I gave her some choices, but she said she wanted to have a picnic and watch the airplanes.
We packed her bag full of little toys, her lunch, and of course her phone and sunglasses and headed out the door. I was a little skeptical about the airport trip. I mean, how much fun is there actually to be had at the Sikeston airport?
The ansewr, SO MUCH FUN! She loved every second of it and so did I! There is a little shaded area behind the airport with big comfy red chairs and a front row view of the airplanes. Maci sat there and watched them for 2 hours! We didn’t get to see the big plane behind her take off, but we watched them fuel it up and park it. Then we watched a Cessna land, fuel, and take off again. And we got to see a crop duster take off too! Maci begged to ride in one but I told her we had to buy a ticket and they cost a lot of money. She said “Ok, well let’s go get some money!” I have got to get this little girl up in a plane!
She made a new best friend while we were there – Mr. Tony, the airplane lineman. He was so good with her and answered any questions she had. He even let us watch the Cessna I mentioned take off on the runway and showed us what the hangers look like. Maci was in awe. I didn’t get many pictures at the airport because the moment was too good to watch from behind a camera, but he made sure we knew that we were welcome any time and said he hoped to see us again, so maybe next time I will get some shots of her next to a big airplane!
Happy Wednesday! – Shannon + Maci
