"Hairpanes" Up in the Air

As we played outside early this morning, Ella exclaimed, "Mommy, it's a beautiful, sunny day!".

She is right - the weather these days is absolutely perfect - no humidity, light breeze, low 70's and gorgeous sunshine.

I decided that we would be outside as much as possible today. I packed up a picnic lunch and we made a quick stop to play at our neighborhood park.





After the park, we headed to our real destination - the lookout at Charlotte-Douglas International Airport.

We sat together on a bench, just the three of us, and watched countless planes land and take off....




...and shared a fun picnic lunch watching even more planes with the beautiful Charlotte skyline in the background!




We were sad not to have Mike with us, but we gave him a call as a few planes took off and Aidan told him all about it - "Daddy, the hairpanes take off way up in the air!".

We had such fun! I am beyond blessed to be able to share in all of these special moments with my little munchkins!
