This weekend my husband and I took our boys up to Driggs for their first time riding in an airplane.
The Airport in Driggs had a grand reopening ( for their run way), this weekend and they were letting kids 6-13 years old ride in the planes for free.
My boys were so excited to get to do this. Dustin wasn't too excited once he got there and seen the planes and was insisting we NOT send him up in the plane, but we couldn't let him pass this opportunity up. It took me til I was 26 years old to take my first plane ride. So at 7 and 10 I think they were pretty damn lucky. Once they started announcing names to go up we realised Bradley and Dustin wouldn't be going together on the same plane. All we could think was damn it. Bradley was all gong ho to ride, he was stoked , but Dustin well like I said before he REALLY didn't wanna go.
Well we sent them up on their ways , expecting a fit from Dustin but he was a good sport and went any ways. They were in the air for 20 minutes then back down.
Bradley was the first one off his plane and was smiling from ear to ear, he absolutely loved it and wanted to go for longer.
Then Dustin got off the plane , when we first saw him we were assuming he didn't enjoy it because there was no smile what so ever on his face, but as he got closer to us he began to smile from ear to ear, the first words out of his mouth was "thank you for making me go I LOVED IT". If I was thinking I would of let them take my camera up but of course I missed that opportunity. Oh well maybe next time.
At least now they can say they've been in an airplane for FREE.
