The kids ask me, daily, when we can go back to the airport. They want to go back to Logan but I’m not real interested in a 2+hr drive just to watch the airplanes. This morning we went to our local (tiny!) airport to watch some planes. The arrival/departure times listed on the website were wrong, so we ended up hanging out at the airport, having a snack on the runway picnic table, and making friends with passengers. Overall a good morning, I suppose. The kids had fun but still want to go to Logan. Maybe we’ll try Manchester some day. Or try to save some pennies and actually buy a ticket to fly somewhere! I think all of us except Alan would enjoy that. :)
Snack time at the airport!
We made friends with a little girl (2.5yrs old!). Her daddy was flying away.
My kids decided to go back outside and Lex promptly took her hand and away they went.
Finally a plane came in!
We went inside to watch the plane boarding. Small plane and small airport, but you can't get this close to the action at Logan!
I love your field trips. you’re such a creative and fun momma
Watch your local papers for a ‘fly-in’ breakfast. The local airport (Sidney) has them a couple of times a year. You get a pancake breakfast, and pilots will take you up in Cessnas or Piper Cubs or other small planes….for a fee. Good fun!
Much love, Mema
