Easter and Flying

We had a very fun Easter weekend. We went to Texas to visit Grandma and Grandpa Aune and aunt Katherine. Kyndal took her first airplane rides and she did great! We were nervous about putting her on a plane for the first time, not quite sure what she would think or how her ears would be. She really seemed to enjoy the "Airpane!" She was definitely the star of the flights. Everyone smiled and asked how old she was and commented how good she was. We were lucky enough to be in the first row of coach on both flights so we had a little extra room in front of us for Kyndal to move around and we did not have worry about her kicking the seat in front of us. She is such a good little girl, we could not ask for any better.

I also got a treat while we were there. Dad, Katherine and I took a flight in a B-24 liberator. This is the only B-24 still operational. We got to sit where the rear gunners would have sat during WWII and once in the air we got to move all through the plane and see where the tail gunner, navigation officer, and pilots flew. We also got to see a P-51 up close as it flew by our side during the 30 minute flight. Before we knew it the flight was over and we were back on the ground but it was amazing!





We also got to see Aunt Linda, Jim, Kristen, Zack, Rachel, Paul and Justin. Kyndal and Justin were so cute together. We had a great time!




And finally here is one of Kyndal just for good measure.



I hope everyone is well. We love you all!

Bret,
It was a wonderful 4 days for us. We enjoyed having you, Kyndal and Kristin here in Coppell. I am glad you enjoyed the B-24 fleight. We enjoyed being with Kyndal and it was heart warming to see the way she seemed to be right at home with us.
I love you,
Dad
