Or "Choo Choo" and "airpane" as Ethan likes to say!
Something our family likes to do when we have "free time"
is go to the airport to watch the planes come and go...
We park on an old dirt road behind the runway to get a good view...
A bonus is that there is a train track close by so if we are lucky
we usually get to see a few "Choo Choo's" race by.
This is a favorite for Ethan!
Ding, Ding, Ding...And the lights at the cross way start to flash!
Ethan and Nate hurry closer to the track to wave at the conductor
Hoping for a pull of the horn...
Ethan tucks in close under Daddy's arm...
He is still a little nervous because of the loud noises!
After the train passes Ethan keeps saying
"where's the choo, choo...or where's "Thomas"...
as he puts his arms out, with palms up...
Followed by "again"
Gota love that kid!
As a child Nathan used to go to the airport with his Grandfather
and shares with me many fond memories of these outings...
He especially use to enjoy the London Air Shows...
Nate tells stories of his grandfather
picking him up for the day with chips and pop in hand
(gota love it when you get chips and pop as a kid)
and heading down to the airport with the scanner...
(A scanner allows you to hear the conversations
between the control tower and the pilots)
Ever since meeting Nathan this has been a
place he has periodically taken me to...
In the beginning it was kinda a romantic place...
A good spot to talk and share a couple of kisses
Moon lit evening sky, runway lights, stars, and wide open spaces...
Now that we have children
it continues to be a good spot to visit and allows us to get
away from our busy lives and have some family time while
building fun memories for our boys!
