Grandpa's Airplane

Grandpa bought an airplane last year. You got to go on it once already with Dad, but I haven't gotten to go. So we finally had our chance. Grandpa had to take the airplane between Caldwell and Nampa for an inspection so we tagged along. Unfortunately Grandpa didn't know what hangar to take the plane to so we ended up driving around the Caldwell airport for almost an hour. You were so good and so patient in the car. I was very proud of you, even though the suspense was killing you to go to the plane, you made it. This delay turned out to be a good thing though because it was dumping rain and we weren't going to be able to go up anyway. By the time we finally got to the plane the sky had cleared and we had a beautiful flight.

You were very quiet on the plane as if you were taking everything in. I must admit it is much different being in a plane like this where you can really distinguish the ground to flying in a commercial plane at 10,000 feet. I think you realized the awe and beauty in this and were taking it all in.

Below are a few of the pictures. You are quite intrigued with umbrellas as of the moment and spent the time after the flight opening and closing the umbrella. You were quite proud of yourself.
