Adam has only been on an airplane once in his short little life. He doesn't remember it though; he was only 4-months-old. So this, to him, was a first. As we boarded our flight to Rochester, New York on our way to Palmyra, he was noticeably nervous. I tried to calm his fears, but somehow he had heard bits and pieces lately of some airplanes and helicopters crashing and so that was on his mind.
It didn't take long, though, for him to realize that flying in a big airplane was pretty cool! The flight attendant brought him apple juice (his drink of choice which he rarely gets at home) and some cinnamon cookies. Combine that with his Thomas the Tank Engine that he brought from home and, well, does life really get any better than this?
Not for a 5-year-old, it doesn't.

sooo cute! I love the half eaten cookie. You can tell Adam I get nervous on a plane too AND I'm almost 30. btw- a plane I was on got caught in the middle of a thunderstorm a month or so ago leaving SLC. The pilot said it was the worse turbulence he has ever encountered. It was bad...things got broken. My kids even started crying a little. In the end it may have helped me with my flight anxiety though. haha. I've been on another flight since then and every time we hit a few bumps I thought, "Aw, that was nothin'". :-)
