Our most recent interest has been airplanes.

(Not the project I would have selected, but it is not my project.)

We started this adventure with a trip to the library to check out books about airplanes.

Next, we went to the airport to watch the airplanes take off, watch the baggage terminal, and learn about the security process.

Then, we had a discussion about airplanes and airports. (Excuse the quality)

And, we turned the playroom into an airplane.

The ticket counter

First, we set up a ticket counter.

Then, we put the chairs in the airplane.

Airplane seats

The guests came to buy the tickets.

The first passenger

Then, the playroom was transformed to a plane.

We flew to Indiana and Florida.

The flight attendant served me some great food.

We spent the majority of the day flying around the country!

When Daddy came home, he was given a ticket to fly to Indiana, too.

(I’m not sure why Indiana.  We do not know anyone in Indiana.)

And, as luck would have it,

our adventure did not end there.

A neighboring city was holding an Airfest this past weekend.

So, we attended.

We had a blast!

Their interests led us to explore the real world.

They learned a ton and I walked away confident that creativity and interest were not sacrificed in the process.

And, an event like the Airfest was so much more meaningful.

This is the type of learning Kid WHYs hopes to encourage.
