Flying high on the 4th of July

Over the weekend we had so much fun. I told the kids we were going on a airplane ride. They were sooo excited! It was incredible! Ok, when I first saw this airplane I thought- I am sending my kids up there, in that!? Devin was first to go- not nervous in the least. His mom on the other hand kept her fear inside until he was safely on the ground. Notice that there is not much to hold on to while you are up there. In the picture above there is a grey lever in front of Braeden. It controls the plane going up and down. I kept saying over and over to Devin, if you get scared- whatever you do, don't pull on the stick! He kept teasing me that he thought it would be fun. UGGHH.. Ok, no way was I sending Braeden up alone. Once we were up in the air, it was so smooth. This plane is made out of a fabric, not metal so it was very light. Thank you to Brett's parents friends for giving us a ride of a lifetime.
Notice the name on the side- experimental. Ok, another reason to give a mom some nerves. But I trusted in the captain 100%.

So proud of my boys! They have their mommas thrill seeking gene.lol!
