Louisiana Regional Airport field trip

On Tuesday, May 21st, we had a field trip to the Louisiana Regional Airport in Gonzales. First, Ms. Janet talked to the children about general aviation.

While we were there, someone was learning how to fly a helicopter.

Mrs. Janet asked the children to look for differences in the planes (wings, tails, propellers, etc).

She explained that the letter N in the aircraft registration number designates that the plane is registered in the United States.

A couple of planes took off and landed while we were there.

The equipment that they use to determine the flying conditions. They can call in at any time to get the conditions.

She explained to us the different parts of the run way.

Next, Mrs. Karen showed us her plane
and how to check the gas level and if there was water in the gas.

Then everyone got a chance to sit in the plane.

Before heading back inside, we got to check out the planes that were in the hangar.

Mrs. Karen was nice enough to have snacks for the kids after the tour. The drinks were especially appreciative since it was really hot this day.

Hope's western party

On Saturday, May 4th, we attended Hope's 8th birthday party. The kids had lots of fun.


Some of the cute decorations...she said she got all of her ideas from Pinterest

I have always loved their backyard and now kids love it because of Hope's playhouse.

Complete with a window unit, tv with dvd player, a tea set, and more!

Every one got a turn on the pony. She had a photographer friend there taking pictures of the kids which she then had printed and came to us at a later date. They turned out better than mine.
