Flying with Grampa
by Eagy Family on Feb.13, 2009, under Family
Ryan’s dad, Grampa Greg, is a favorite over at our house. He comes with candy and gifts almost every time we see him! Last weekend he gave our kids a huge surprise - going up in his airplane for the morning! Our kids were beyond excited for every aspect of the morning. Hannah and Gabe were able to go up in the plane with Papa and Grampa Greg (it only holds four people). So Abigail, Gideon and I watched from the ground.
Here are the little pilots ready for some action:

This is as close to flying as Abigail got. Maybe in a couple of years, little lady!

After all the pre-flight checks were done, all four of them pushed the plane out of the hanger. Hannah and Gabe felt pretty important!

Gabe and Hannah buckled into their carseats (inside the plane) with their head gear ready. They could all talk to each other and it wasn’t as loud this way.

They had a very memorable experience! Ryan said he looked back a few times and their faces were red from laughing hysterically. They’re looking forward to another flight whenever Grampa Greg is ready! The next flight might take them out to breakfast in another little city. How fun is that!?
And I can’t post something without adding a photo of Gideon, my little sweet man! There are also more photos added to the February album on our Picasa site. Just click the Eagy Family Photo Album link. Have a great weekend!

What a fun experience for them! Does Greg still do hot air balloon rides or did the plane become his next adventure?
