Trip to the Airport

Laura took Avery to Vass this past weekend for a wedding shower, so Carter and I had the entire weekend to do boy stuff.  Carter has been very good at spotting every single airplane that flys over by stopping what he is doing, looking up, pointing to the airplane, and going "woooooooooo!"  If you ask him where the airplane is he will get a serious look on his face and start to scan the skies.  When we took him to the airport lookout a few weeks ago, he would stuff his fingers in his ears while the airplanes took off, but wasn't crazy about the noise

So I decided to take him to the Carolinas Aviation Museum, much like we have done with Avery.

The kids favorite thing is always sitting in the airplane cockpits and playing with the controls and Carter was no different.

Checking out all the airplanes.

 He really enjoyed the larger cockpit, even though he couldn't reach anything.  He would have stayed in there all day and kept trying to run back to it.

 The fighter cockpit was also a big hit.

 As well as looking at all of the planes up close.

 The biggest smile of the day, playing with the sign...  Everything else was extreme concentration.

 In front of the "Miracle on the Hudson" plane.

Checking out larger planes.

They also had an outside viewing area where you could watch planes take off without being too close to the runway and all of the noise.  Carter preferred that much more than the normal viewing location.
