Wings Over Houston

We were going to make our annual trip to Dewberry Farms for some more pumpkin fun, but Isaac chose airplanes over pumpkins. Can you blame him? He is 100% boy! He loves cars, trucks, tractors and airplanes! Houston has a great air show every year, so we braved the frigid weather and went to see some planes!






There were a lot of opportunities to get an up close and personal look at the different aircrafts. The first one we checked out was the U.S. Coastguard boat(the only boat at the air show). There were lots of nooks and crannies in this thing, which the kids loved. Dan and I couldn't spot Isaac at one point and started freaking out, but he was just hiding in the tunnel...


Cool little airplane!


U.S. Coastguard helicopter! You know Isaac loved this one. He had a hard time waiting in line. He really wanted to get in!


Pilot Isaac!



Checking out all of the buttons



In the back of the helicopter



and LOVING it!


Some pics from the air show. We thought Isaac would really dig this since he notices every single plane/helicopter in the sky, but he liked going in them more. Daddy and I were really more interested in watching the planes, but there wasn't too much time for that with a two year old. :/




They even had pyrotechnics!






We all loved these little planes, but you couldn't go near them. Sadly they were all behind a fence.


That made this little boy very sad. 




So we sat and looked at them for a while.  :)


Checking out some airplanes flying overhead with Mommy


The line to get on this plane was SO long, but well worth the wait. It was our favorite by-far.


I mean, look at how fun just the stairs are!


It was super windy and cold that day. my eyes were watering all day and I was the only one who didn't bring a hat. Womp womp  :(












We definitely had some fun!! Sad to have missed Dewberry Farms this year, but when faced with the choice between the two, you gotta go with the two year old!

  2. How fun and the "freezing" temps make for a nicer day than 100 degrees getting in and out of airplanes. Love :)Mo
