This was my brother David's gift to my kids for there birthday. He just became a pilot and they got to see first hand what he does for a living. Pretty cool job.




Emma was really nervous at first to go up. In fact she offered her seat to me. She and JJ both had some jitters but they did end up going. David flew them over our house, their school, and Lagoon. They had an amazing time. They both couldn't stop talking about it. David also took Michael my baby brother up for his birthday. David wanted them to feel what zero gravity felt like. (ALSO to make it fun for Michael.)The kids hated it. I actually think they liked that part. JJ loves to tell everyone that you could see the pencil fly up. Better stories come from bigger adventures. I think it is great. It really has given them something to talk about. This really was a once in a lifetime thing for my kids. Thank you David.

Holy cow!! That is so fun! Kind of scary though, just a little. Your kids are so darn cute. And that cake is amazing tell your mom she should do that for a living.

How fun for your kids! I probably would have done the same thing as Emma and try to give my seat away!

That is the coolest bday present EVER! And super-congrats to David! I had no idea he became a pilot. That's sooo awesome! Tell him he needs to fly on over to Dallas and give me a turn for my birthday!

I can't believe David is a pilot. I'm glad I didn't find that out until after I got back from my trip. Would have made me think twice before I got on the plane! Ha Ha Just kidding. That is really awesome.
