Airport Adventures

Today our family decided to pack a picnic lunch and head to the airport after church to eat, play, and watch out for planes. The outing was a HUGE success!!!Our lunch was super yummy but Bryleigh definitely seemed to enjoy it the most. She was eager to go and play but kept coming over to chow down every spare chance she had.
Brenden seemed to enjoy playing on the "runway", huge "sandbox", and climbing structure the most. After her lunch, Bryleigh was quick to join in on the fun which was very exciting to watch. We are definitely at a different place in our lives where we're able to sit back and watch both of our kids play with minimal assistance and intervention from us. (We just had to occasionally help Bry when she would fall because she is too dainty to get her hands dirty trying to stand back up. Ha!)
However, watching the planes was definitely the most fun for us all. We were excited to hear them coming no matter how big or small and thrilled to watch them taking off as well. We didn't honestly see a ton of planes because one runway (the one closest to the observation tower) was closed but all of the ones that we could spot on the other runway made us super happy!
We were also very excited to have Nana and Papa join us for this outing. Anyone that has been around our 2 kids know that they both love their grandparents like crazy so any special outing with any of them is definitely a treat for us all. This was definitely the case today...we all 4 appreciated their company!

It was definitely a great day and a fun outing! We always have a handful of things that we love to do during the warmer months of the year and airport adventures are surely towards the top of our list. We cannot wait to go back again very soon!!!!!

We L.O.V.E. the airport park. We do hate that the one side is closed right now, but that place is so awesome!

Looks like fun! We took Avery there on Father's Day when he was 1.5ish years old and haven't been back as a famly since then. I took Avery and Thompson a few times, but thanks for the idea... I think it would be a better experience now that Avery is older!
