For boys club this year Grandpa Glen took the boys on a plane ride. They flew in a four seater plane out of Lethbridge and over Champion and our farm! The boys loved every minute, Armin did get a little nervous when they banked the plane over Nobleford but soon realized he was safe and he settled right down! Grandpa asked him if he needed the barf bag and he nodded his head yes, but he didn't end up needing it at all! It sparked an interest in him that he'd like to be a pilot when he grows up!!
Flying over the farm they were able to see Jared who had come home to grab some things. Jared was out on the front lawn waving to them, the plane circled a couple of times and as they turned south one last time Jared gave a big wave and the pilot maneuvered the plane side to side as if waving back!! Jared said he was so happy he was home at the time and got to see them!!
What a neat experience for our prairie boys who have never been in a plane before. I am so thankful my dad is able and willing to do these neat excursions with our kids. The boys sure loved it, Armin still talks about being in the plane and wanting to be a pilot.
For sure something they will remember. There is something about being in a plane. Cora still dreams of being a pilot.
