Hot & Smoky at the Airport

Today we met up with one of my college friends, Alisha, and her husband, Mike, and their one-year-old, Zach. We decided to go to the RDU observation park and have lunch while we were there. The boys loved pretending to be airplanes and running down the runways.

Here they are taking a break to look at the planes that were coming and going.

After lunch, Alisha brought out the bubbles for a little more fun. By this point we were all hot and sweaty. It was just way to hot and we were ready to go. Chandler took a turn with the bubbles. This was the day that all the smoke was blowing in from the forrest fires and it was just gross outside.

Meanwhile, Zach checked out Maverick who was chilling in the stroller, but starting to get ready to go. It was just way to hot. Did I mention that?

Notice Alisha trying to get Maverick to take his binky. Well of course, Brighton now wanted a turn with the bubbles and when I wouldn't let him hold the container (because he'd spill it of course, and they weren't our bubbles to spill) a meltdown ensued. Maverick was crying, Brighton was crying....at least Chandler wasn't. I decided that was about all we could take and we were out of there! Too bad we didn't have more time to visit with Zach. Maybe next time!

Thanks to Mike for taking and sharing the great pictures!
