Our tiny little airport does an Airport Day every year. I took the boys a few years ago when Dave had to work (I'm so glad he doesn't do urgent care anymore), and they've wanted to go back ever since. They were hoping to get free aiplane rides, which they missed last time, but they didn't have them this year. They did have helicopter and plane rides, but they were $75 and up. No thanks. They loved watching this helicopter land right in front of them. It got very breezy.
But at least they got to get all buckled into the helicopter seat. That was fun. (Thanks for the tip on making collages, Carol! I did this on Picasa, which is a free download. Pretty cool.)
We went there early in the day to beat the heat, but it was still pretty dang warm. I spent most the time sitting in the shade of an airplane and eating kettle corn. Yum.
We watched the remote control planes do stunts and such. I liked it when they moved to the beat of the music
Spencer bought shaved ice for everyone to share. What a nice brother.
It was very cold. 
They had a little combat show in which the remote control planes tried to hit each other's tails. The plane with the longest tail at the end won.
Spencer happened to be at the right place at the right time when someone asked him if wanted to launch this rocket type of airplane. They did a big countdown and everything. That was fun for him. I even got out of the shade to watch.

fun!!! I love it!
Fun! My dad has a pilot's license and a plane--if you're ever visiting Phoenix, pay him a visit & he'll give you guys a plane ride for free! : )
Yay for Picasa collages! I almost forgot about those...I've been so sporadic in my blogging lately.
