Playdate with Daddy

Today, the girls and I headed up to visit Neal at work for lunch and a little playdate! He can get us into the Flight Museum by Love Field for free and he had been wanting to check it out, so we all got the pleasure of tagging along on his lunch break.

The girls had so much fun seeing all the airplanes and playing in the Jay Jay the Jet Plane kids area. Luckily, they actually enjoyed all the exhibits Neal had been wanting to check out too! Now we just have to plan a time to go back when we can stay longer than a lunch hour!
There was a fun airplane that the kids could climb in, fly, sit in the seats as a passenger, and then slide out the back
Captain Jillian and First Officer Meredith
Flying Jay Jay
Meredith climbed all the way up to the top of the Air Traffic Control Tower. Jillian started up but was luckily very happy to stay close to the ground. If not, I am pretty sure that Mama in a skirt or Daddy in work duds would have been climbing up after her to get her down - they were some steep steps!
This was one of the real planes that you could actually go in and see some of the stuff you usually don't experience as a passenger - plus they were also filled with Southwest historical memorabilia.
The back of the plane we got to walk through while on the inside of the museum sticks out into the parking lot of the museum so we went to go get a closer look on our way out.
Meredith thought it was really cool to get to stand underneath the airplane
And touch it!
Jillian wanted to touch it just like Sissy, but then was afraid it would be too hot! She was a few inches shy of touching it herself like she would have liked anyway, but I did lift her up to get a little closer look.
