Labor Day Weekend

My parents decided to make a last minute trip here for Labor Day Weekend.

With that, I tried thinking of some fun stuff for us to do that were indoors, since it was still incredibly hot here in North Carolina. 

I thought going to the Carolinas Aviation Museum, would be the perfect place to go. It's somewhere that we have been wanting to go and thought my parents would enjoy it too. 

The cool thing about the museum is that it has the miracle on the hudson plane there. I would say that was the main attraction for the museum. They of course, have other planes there, but the miracle on the hudson takes center stage.

It was shocking seeing the damage of the plane and seeing different videos and peoples belongings  from that day.  It's truly amazing that everyone on the plane survived!

The adults were in owe of all the stuff we could read about the miracle of the hudson, but all the kids wanted to do was run around and get in the planes that they were allowed to go into. Both girls have mentioned that they want to fly planes when they grow up. The love that these 3 kids have for planes will always be present, I'm sure because as long as Courtney is in the military, we will always be around them. 

McKaila's 1st Day of Kindergarten

Before school started, McKaila had her days where she would get really sad because she would be away from me all day and she was missing everyone at her old school in Mississippi as she would say. But, the sadness wouldn't last too long after we would explain to her that she would be meeting a lot of new friends and learning all kinds of new and exciting things. 

So, when they day came for her first day of school, she was very excited. She was up early and ready to go. Her first day of school was only with a handful of classmates just to ease everyone into the days, and her second day of school, all her classmates will be there. 

McKaila picked out her own outfit for the first day of school! She couldn't pass up her new pug shirt! She even has to bring her stuffed Roxy in the car with her so Roxy is excited to see her when she is done with school for the day.

I am so thankful that Courtney was able to take the day off of work to be here for McKaila's first day of school. I know McKaila loved that daddy was there too! 

As the girls were eating breakfast before we left for school, McKaila had a talk with McKenna. 

"McKenna you have to be a good girl while I am gone and be really nice to your brother"

It was the cutest thing ever and really wish I could have gotten a video of it! What was even better, after McKaila had told me about her first day, she had to ask me if McKenna had been good. I had to tell her that McKenna had some hard times today and McKaila went on to tell me that she talked with her and told her to be good, so she's sorry she didn't listen. What a little sweetie!!

But, McKaila's first day of kindergarten went really well. She had so much fun and was so excited to tell Courtney and I all about it. She said many times how much she loved school and was excited about the next day of school when all her new friends were going to be there.
