Their first time on an airplane......

So after very little sleep the night before (a combo of excitement and anxiety over so many unknowns), we are finally on board our flight en route to New Jersey. My poor kids were both very tired, the food after going through security was expensive, and not great (Opa’s for breakfast anyone?), but boarding the plane made them forget anything negative.

Terran is crazy about any machines that move; trucks, construction equipment, tractors, but specially trains, planes, and rocket ships.

We had very kind flight attendants, they set up the kids with coloring books, and crayons, and they even suggested the kids go, and say hello to the captain, and co- captain of our flight before take off, Maija was so thrilled “Mom, they were both named Mike like grandpa!” and both kids loved that they (the pilots) turned lights on and off in the cockpit for them. Meeting the pilots, going to the cockpit, how cool is that?! I think that alone made my kids’ flight already.

Maija and I both pinched ourselves to make sure neither of us was dreaming...
