Planes and Magic Carpet Rides

Yesterday was a fun day for Tyler!  Back in the fall, I bought Josh helicopter lessons for his birthday.  The lessons expired May 1, and by the time he called to schedule his session they didn’t have any helicopters available until the fall.  He could have waited, but the company offered to take Josh and Tyler up in a small plane!

But he didn’t just get to fly IN the plane….

He got to FLY it! You must check this video out!


I had no idea that kids could do this, and I have to say I was freaking out at work the entire time I knew Josh and Tyler were up in the air.  Tyler got to sit alongside the pilot with Josh in the back.  They flew for 45 minutes!  Josh said that Tyler was not scared one bit!  How funny…is this the same kid that is scared of the movies, Beauty and the Beast and Pinocchio???

Perhaps we have a future pilot on our hands?  Tyler has been wanting to ride on an airplane for a few years now.  Lucky for him that his first experience on a plane was flying it!

That evening we watched Aladdin, which was on Disney this week.  I DVR’d it so that we could watch it last night!  Tyler loved the genie and the magic carpet the best.  Before bed I asked him if he could have three wishes like Aladdin did, what would he wish for. 

Tyler responded with the following wishes:

  1. To be a daddy (he always says this!)
  2. To be in a Toy Story movie
  3. To visit Mickey’s clubhouse

Sweet kid!  From flying in a plane to watching Aladdin on a flying carpet, we had a great Friday!
