Home stretch! Whew!
Here's the last entry from our holidays...
We visited Aviation Park at the RDU Airport. This was Sadie's second visit to the park, and what a difference six months or so makes. The last time we came here, her interests were pretty much confined to animals, and she was more interested in playing in the playground than in watching planes land and take off. She's now very plane-centric, and spent most of the time saying "airplane gone" as the planes took off, "Hi, airplane" to the planes landing, and "baby airplane" to planes that were small or high up in the sky. She's been talking about airplanes ever since.
Some baby airplanes.
Daddy gives Sadie a bird's eye view.
The air traffic controller's tower. On the observation deck, there are speakers that broadcast the radio channels of the air traffic controllers, so you can hear them talking to the pilots. It's pretty cool, though God forbid some small child is present when there is trouble. That would probably be traumatic.
Sadie takes a bench break.
Climbing on the spider structure in the playground area.
Sadie munches a Fig Newman with great gusto.
Later that afternoon, we strolled to our neighborhood ponds to see if the recent rains have made any dent into our severe drought situation. The ponds were almost non-existent the last time we saw them- now there is definitely water there, but we have a long way to go, and we are forecasted to have a dry winter and spring.
Sadie and Obi.
Sadie loves to play with the canoe at the pond. Luckily, the land owner is very cool about letting people on his land and doesn't mind people using the boat. It's kind of there for all of us.
Mr. Obi-Wan is quite the distinguished gentleman. He's probably about 10 or 11 years old now, but he is still quite the puppy at times. It's hard to watch your beloved pooch slow down with age, though.
Sadie and Daddy traded hats. What silly Griggs they are...
