Watching Planes

Another Summer bucket list item was checked off this afternoon.  We had a picnic at Founders Plaza and watched the planes land and take off at DFW Airport.  

Thursday Fun

Since I still look a little beat up, we have been spending the week at home.  Today I thought I would treat my children to a little surprise.  We picked up lunch at Chick-fil-A, and I took them to a new picnic spot.  At the north entry of DFW Airport, there is a small park that provides an excellent view of incoming planes called Founders Plaza.

The park has covered picnic tables and a few plaques and statues.  The coolest feature is the speaker from the tower.  We listened to the planes being called in by air traffic control, and it was awesome.  As we were getting ready to leave, the boys wanted to watch one more plane come in, and I was happy to agree.

Another favorite activity this week is Nabi time.  When Ridley sleeps, the boys play quietly on their Nabis behind the sofa in the game room.  I am not sure why they pick that spot, but it must be comfy.

Evening fun

After I picked Ryland up at school, we headed to Sonic to pick up a bite. We weren't in a hurry, and I didn't just want to throw a burger to him. We pulled over and had a picnic in the backseat. It was great to just sit and eat together. He is growing up so quickly.

We stayed up a little later tonight playing with the toys. We were having too much fun to go to bed.
