Lola: I want to ride on an airplane.
Me: I’m sorry, honey; you’re too little.
Lola: I not too little. I’m a big girl. Dey need me.
Russ went down to the airport early yesterday morning to wait in line for a couple hours (before church) to sign Levi and Luke up for free Young Eagles flights while I got the kids ready.
After church, we did a little more waiting.
And more waiting.
Sometimes cheerfully.
Sometimes not-so-cheerfully.
So we gave the children more sugar. ‘Cause that totally works.
Finally, it was time.
Shannon and Ben (and Rilla) hung out with Lola while the big boys were up in the air. They watched the helicopter take off.
The boys returned.
And helped Poppy load up his military display with Uncle Ben and Aunt Holly (while I braved Costco with Lola and Leif).
That Lola. So concerned with the needs of others. What a giver! ;-)
ReplyDeleteAnd those boys of yours with their elastic faces!
P.S. Ian started a blog today, and emailed the link to Levi. I am not accountable for his grammar and punctuation (yipes!) but I hope Levi enjoys it...
