Float Plane Day

The theme of the summer reading program at the library is "Splash Into Reading." So our wonderful volunteer librarian has planned a water-themed program for each month of the summer!




















The kids all enjoyed having one of the instructors at the local float plane school teach them all about the planes and piloting. Then they all got to sit in the plane and move the rudders and check out the controls.

There were about 15 kids there, and they all took their turns. Andrew liked being able to sit in the pilot's seat (he has taken a flight before in a float plane for this 4th birthday).
Anna wasn't shy at all about climbing in there and talking with the pilot.




















And Jacob? He climbed in but wasn't content to just sit there! No, he wanted to stand right up and see all there was to see! That is so indicative of Jacob's personality!
