Sarah and Chayah's school had a Young Eagle's event at our little local airport. Each of the girls got to go on airplane ride and they both absolutely loved it!! They even cried a little because they wanted to go up again so much.. but there will be another Young Eagle day in the Spring, so they can go again then. ;)
Sarah flew by herself with her pilot and Chayah went on with a friend from her class, another little one, and her pilot. Sarah flew first, and then Chayah and her group-- but in different planes. It was crazy to look up at the sky and not even be able to see where they were.. a little nerve wracking for sure, but all is well and they are both safely down on land again :)
They had a blast though and I'm so happy they got to go up and have such a great time!!
Sarah and her pilot, walking out to the plane
A little blurry, but so sweet :)
Sarah and her pilot almost to the plane!
Getting in and getting ready
Starting to taxi!
If you look in close, you can see a little Sarah head peeking out from the window!
Going out to the runway!
Getting pretty far out there..
And taking off!! (the plane in the background, not the one closest up)
Yes, that is SARAH up in the plane wayyy up in the sky!!!
Landed!
Sarah and her pilot safely back down :)
Sarah adored her plane ride!! She even got a button (that she has on) and a certificate for flying!
Chayah and a friend from her class, hanging out, helping to work the food booth, and waiting to fly.. right here Chayah was saying to him "Hello Husband!" and he was saying back "Hello Wife!".. haha, they're cute ;)
Chayah and another friend from her class, meeting their pilot.. almost time for them to fly!!
Going out to their plane!
Chayah and her group getting in the plane!
All in.. almost time to take off!
Starting to taxi..
Going to the runway..
Going farther... and then they were off!!
Finally-- landed!!
Safely back on the ground :)
Coming back
Chayah and her friend very excited to greet us all again and tell us about their amazing ride!
Sarah ran out to meet Chayah and greeted her with a huge hug! This was the sweetest moment ever!
Chayah and her friend, with their certificates from flying! What big girls they are!! (1st graders are pretty big, after all ;)
