Will's First Flight

This last weekend Will and I flew to Kentucky to see my friend Andrea.  Andrea has a son that is almost Will's age too so we thought since they haven't seen each other since Will was 6 months old we would let them play.  The second Gavin found Will at baggage claim they were already talking like best friends:)  So sweet! 

Will wasn't scared of the airplane at all.  We haven't really had a lot of (okay any) opportunities to take either boy on an airplane yet. Until Saturday.  Boy, was he excited!  He had a countdown for this trip hanging on our fridge for 16 days before we even left Oklahoma!  A major part of the airplane that he thought was super cool was the fact that it was blue.  Well, I say blue/purple but Will only saw blue.

There were two flights to KY and two flights back to OK and Will had to grab a window seat each time.  His favorite past time as climbing and descending were counting swimming pools.  He originally said he wanted to do trees, but once he realized how many of those there were, he quickly found something else to count:)

Once the flight attendant figured out this was Will's first flight she went all out, and I mean ALL OUT, of her way to make sure Will had a lot of great memories from this trip.  Big shout out to Southwest Airlines.  They really are awesome and amp up the customer service points in my book.  She made him a crown out of bags of peanuts and toothpicks.  She allowed him to enter the cockpit after landing and meet the pilot.  The pilot let Will "fly" the airplane and hold the controllers and push buttons.  I couldn't take too many pictures.  This was awesome!

Once he got off his first flight and finally made it to "TenTucky" he and Gavin and Sabrina played for 4 days.  Yes, there were fights.  Yes, there were tears.  Yes, there were tired kids.  They had such a blast though!  Once they all got too tired and just needed some down time....this is where you could find them.....

Electronics.  What I find so funny in this picture is that they are all sharing each others electronics.  Gavin is playing Will's DS, Sabrina is playing Gavin's DS, and Will is playing Andrea's phone.  Cute! 

We had an excellent time in Kentucky and an awesome experience with Southwest.  Thank you to everyone who helped make this weekend possible for both of us!
