Tuesday Tell All- SOUND

One of my favorite sounds is the sound of a plane either flying or taking off. There's just something about it that gets me all excited.

My dad was always really obsessed with planes too, and always took us to the plane museums and stuff. I remember when I was younger my dad arranged with a friend of his to take us up in his small plane (probably a Sesna, Nate, but I'm not 100% sure on that). It was SO COOL to me back then. We got to fly over our neighborhood, and I could totally see my house and all of my friend's houses. Looked like a little miniature village. But I remember how exciting that was for my family.
Then when I got a little older my brother took me to a spot by Hill Airforce Base where we could watch the jets taking off and flying overhead. That was REALLY fascinating and fueled my love for it.

Then all the Air Shows that my Dad took us to. Those are the best! It's kind of lame of me, but I really look forward to the air shows. We even went to the one in AK the first Summer we were there- that was such a blast. If you ever get a chance to go to one- GO!!

And of course the whole time we lived in Alaska was just full of cool plane experiences, starting with my first "real" plane ride-- leaving everything we had ever known and been comfortable with in Utah and flying to Alaska-- the UNKNOWN! The spot by the airport that we found with my Dad when he was visiting. The lakes that we used to just sit and watch the planes taking off. The small airport up by Nate's school that we would drive around and have Nate teach us all the identification features. And then of course how Luke and Bradley would point out every single plane they saw up in the sky whenever we were outside. Such a blast. That was one of the first things we missed when we got back here-- not as many planes.



But anyway- that was the sound that I wanted to talk about. I'm so glad that Nate will be getting a job close to the airport so that we will "have to" move closer to the planes soon :) And I'm also really glad that he likes them so much and is excited about working as an ATC for the rest of his life. Who knew that my love for planes and the loud noise they make would ever come in handy :) We're almost there Nate!! Wahoo!!!!
