Kyle's High Adventure

What a whirlwind.

So much going on
Can't seem to keep up with the writing.

We're on our LearJet now.  Quite small, like a little cocoon.
Only four seats, one for me, one for Greg, and one for each of the two medics.
And just enough room left for Kyle to stretch out ;)
No flight attendants though for our beverage service.
I really thought it would be like the way they fly on Criminal Minds.
Not quite.

Greg is sitting towards front and is enjoying talking aircraft lingo with our medics.
He is in his element.  I chose the back seat of our little cocoon , so Kyle is facing me.

One and a half hours of reflecting time.

Kyle's got a window seat, (well, actually, we all have window seats since there are only
six windows on either side!).  He is gazing out the window like I've seen him do so many
times since he was little.  Greg's career with the airlines gave us so many opportunities to
travel.  There is nothing better than seeing the world.  Our boys are fortunate.

Growing up he had so many toy airplanes, UAL model planes, books about planes.  He
even had the chance to fly in a small acrobatic plane with our dentist, Jim Jelinek, doing spins, dives, up side downs. What a thrill!

Greg has his pilots license and always talked about giving Kyle flying lessons.  Being a typical mom, I was never too excited about this.

Statistics show though, that you are safer in an airplane than in a car.  I guess Kyle had to show me that was true.  ("maybe not the best way to do it though, Kyle ")

So Kyle gets to add flying in a Lear Jet to his list of high adventures.  Yay for Kyle :)

Too bad he won't remember it  :(
