The day before Father’s Day Ilise decided to surprise me. She made me keep my eyes closed while we were driving and then she walked me out to the airplane where William was waiting when I opened my eyes! That was a big surprise to me because Ilise hadn’t mentioned anything about it or even hinted at it. If you know Ilise and I, then you know we are both awful at keeping secrets from each other including surprises. I had mentioned a few weeks prior that I really wanted to go up in the plane again and somehow Ilise and William made it happen without giving me even a hint. It was a great day. I have the best wife! I also want to thank William for making the day awesome!
The original idea was for it to just be William and me on the flight but when Zoe said she really wanted to go up in the plane and fly he couldn’t resist taking her too. We were worried how she would tolerate it because her last flight to Denver in a commercial airliner didn’t go the best. She did great aside from the noise, which is why there are so many hands covering her ears. After about 40 minutes she took her hands off of her ears and was very happy and curious for the last 20 minutes.
We were able to fly around our house even though we are dangerously close to the Indianapolis International Airport. We were lucky they even let us get as close as we did because we could tell that they didn’t want us in their airspace.
There is our house and tiny little fenced in back lawn, tree, swing set and garden.
Ilise and Zoe are waving at another airplane below us. We got to see several airplanes under us as we flew over Purdue.
