I'll take one of these!

When I was just a little kid my momma took me on an airplane adventure. Daddy missed the adventure last year, so this year I had to show him the ropes since I am an old pro and know my way around.

Of course when you go to an airplane show, you get to check out the airplanes up close and personal. The red one was pretty cool.

But I specially liked the yellow one.

It's got black propellers. 

Mommy said she could tell that Daddy specially liked this one too. 

She said the grin on his face says it all.

Something tells me that they weren't talking about the airplane.

Know why I liked the yellow airplane so much?

Cuz after a bit of flight instruction,

I am ready for take off!

See ya mom!

Phooey, that didn't work at all. 

Said I was too little. What's up with that?

Well, maybe next year.

There was a man that said that I could take a ride in this:

Oh, sigh. It's just not an airplane you know?

Sigh, sigh, sigh.

We were really close to the take off area so it was a little noisy.

I didn't mind that noise at all. 

I just wanted to ride.

I mean who wouldn't want to be flying straight up way high...

Then shooting back down really fast...

Then flying a loop over backwards,

Then doing a barrel roll?

Yep this is the place for me!

Mommy liked these planes the best. 

Shhh, I am going to be quiet a minute and let you enjoy their show:

Well, the day came to an end.

I didn't get to ride in or even buy an airplane; but they were cool to watch.

Oh, wait!

Since I can't have a plane, can't I just have this?

Please Daddy Please?!

At Home Adventures with Stephen

Sometimes in the winter it takes me a long time to go on an adventure. But I am an adventurous little boy, so I do find ways to go on adventures right here at home. 

Like the day I got into the matchboxes. Mommy had a whole case of them. She said they were for her to turn into ornaments, but I found a better use for them.

See? Counting. 

You would think that my mommy would be happy that I practiced my counting, wouldn't you?

Is your mommy fussy at you when all you want to do is practice counting?

Of course I am a very gifted little boy, so I like to practice music lessons too.

Since we live in a duplex, Mommy is always telling me to practice not so loudly.

I am thinking that the neighbor lady probably appreciates musical talent more than mommy does.

Mommy did do something really cool for me, cuz even though mommy doesn't appreciate some ways of higher learning, she does see the value in learning art. So she made me an art station. 

I have been teaching my Bubba how to paint:

And since we haven't had snow this winter, I made some snow pictures for us:

And one time I even taught Sissy how to make an art project. 

I'll teach you how in a few days. 

That way when you can't get outside cuz it's too cold you can make an adventure of your own too!
