Today Ava Wanted To See More Airplanes

Aunt Holly and Uncle Shawn live right underneath the final approach for Columbus International Airport. Needless to say, they see quite a few aircraft during the day. Which, to me isn't a terrible thing. 

And from what I learned this morning, you don't mind either.

Mom and Aunt Holly made a Target run while Uncle Shawn got ready to mulch the flower beds and take care of other yard work. So, you and I made our way to the backyard to toss your football around. 

The moment you heard the first jet engines approach your head was on a swivel tracking the noise.

Once you're ears and eyes found the same thing, you pointed to the sky and said "airplane!" 

I picked you up so you could get a better view and you watched it until it was out of sight. hen you could barely see it anymore you bid it farewell by saying "Bye plane!" 

I tried to joke with you and say, "No honey, that's not a biplane, it's a monoplane." My terrible attempt at humor was met with crickets and a confused look. 

You'll learn the difference someday. 

Wouldn't even take the time to stop and smell the flowers.

I couldn't get you back in the house. We sat outside and looked at "more plane" for quite a while.
