Look Who's Five!!!!!

Jackson just turned five and it was a very exciting event for both him and us. Every year Josh takes off on his birthday and we have spent the day doing fun things just for him. Josh and I wanted to make this birthday very special for him. We thought about what we could do that would make him remember turning five forever. So......wait for it..... we let him go up in a private plane ride. He thought it was fantastic!!! A year or so ago, Josh and John John got to fly in a plane similar to this and Jackson has wanted to go every since then. He got to go up with Josh, Uncle John John and the coolest pilot, Dwight for a thirty-minute flight. Here are some of the pictures. It was really neat, and I was sad to miss out, but my stomach or nerves would not be able to handle being up in a plane, let alone the thought of leaving Jordan on the ground without us...anyway... Jackson got to fly and help land the plane. It truly was one of the best days he has had and one he will always remember.

This was Jackson as we were getting ready to leave for the airport.

You think they are excited???

Uncle John John, Landon, Jackson, Josh, and Pilot Dwight.

This is Josh and Jackson by the plane they flew in.

Here is co-pilot Jackson getting ready for take-off.

Here is Jackson waving bye-bye to me and Jordan. This is when my tears flowed....

Here is Jackson actually flying the plane. Dwight has a controller too...no worries.

Here is one happy little five year old.

Jordan enjoyed a donuts while we waited.

Here I was with Jordan and Landon as the were landing the plane. Whoo...that was a long thirty minutes.

This is one of my favorite pictures. Jackson had his arms out "flying" as he was going back inside the airport.
