up, up, and away.

last night my mother-in-law thought it would be a great idea to send my son in a small airplane with my father-in-law, a family friend who's a pilot, and his 4-year old son.
i thought it to be not a great day to risk ones life.
{especially not my sons life...}

but, having such a strong faith, knowing that all would be okay, i let him go.
and sent him with my camera.

without further ado, pictures from my 8-year old, jake, on his first small airplane ride.

the passenger.


the plane.



me: what's this, babe?
jake: oh, just a small plane i found.
me: okie doke.


the view.


the dames pointe bridge, jacksonville, florida








i know these last four were a bit repetitive...i wanted to post all he took. {he apparently saw something in these shots.}


he had a great time!!!

thank you, mr robert!
beware, he might ask to go everytime now...
