I am the luckiest nana/gramma in the world! Since I work for the airline I have gotten to take my grandchildren onto planes. I mean they get to go on the plane and sit in the pilots chair and the pilot even lets them hold the wheel and turn it and move it up and down. They love it. The first ones I did this with were Tianna and Dallen. I was working in the Jackson station and they have the big Delta jets there. One day Mandy and Ernesto brought the kids over for a visit and the pilot said I could bring them out and let them board the plane. He asked Tianna if she wanted to sit in his chair and of course she did...Dallen not so much he started crying and wouldn't have anything to do with the pilot.(He was still quite young maybe 2) Anyway, after that Tianna was hooked. She has loved to fly, she has loved planes ever since. Mandy's three kids have all gotten to go on trips. There first trip is to Salt Lake City to temple square and spending the night at a hotel swimming. As they trun eight they get a big trip, Tianna's was to Sanabel Island and Sea World in Florida. Dallen's was just this past summer to Atlanta the Braves, White Water ect. Jacob is still to young to go on a trip but he loves planes. So when I got an opportunity to let him go on a plane and he actually wanted to I was thrilled. Here he is sitting in the pilots chair. He loved it. The one thing he didn't like was that the pilot sat down in the co-pilots chair and Jacob wanted him to move. You can tell from his little face he isn't happy about the pilot sitting there. But he was excited to get to "drive" the plane. He got to hold the wheel, turn it and pull it up and down.

This one is so cute. I love the sunglasses! He was lovin sitting in that seat. I just wish I had gotten pictures of the other kids the first time they got to go in the cockpit and sit in the pilots chair. Can't wait for the younger ones to get interested so I can hopefully take them on the planes. Can't wait to see where Brandon.....and the others as they get older choose to take their "big" trip to.
