Trip to Georgia!!

Peyton and I took a trip out to Georgia to see dad.  Were we just a LITTLE excited to go?  Yes!!  I didn't tell Peyton until we were on our way because I didn't want to risk him telling his sister.  It was so cute when I finally did tell him he just kept saying "Mom are you just kidding me?"  He couldn't believe he got to go on an airplane ride, stay at a hotel on the beach with a swimming pool not to mention see his absolute favorite person in the world!!!  We had such a fun trip just the two of us!  He is such a fun kid with a great outlook on life.  Love him to death! 
Does he look just a little happy to be with his dad?  It almost makes me cry seeing this picture!
He got a star wars book at the book fair and had to take it because you know I am just not into it enough for him....I don't know all of the people and places for him:)
We went to the sea turtle center and got to see some of the sea turtles that they are taking care of at this facility....it was pretty amazing and Peyton loved seeing them and talked to the staff about all of it for such a long time it was so cute.  We got every story about every sea turtle...from the one that had a stroke and can't dive anymore, to one that lost a flipper from a shark they think!  It was a fun way to spend an afternoon:)




On the flight home Peyton got on the plane and shook the captains hand and said hello.  Then he asked Peyton if he would like to go up front to see the cock pit.....UM YESSSS!  He sat up there and talked to the co-pilot the whole time people were boarding asking about every button and scenario....I loved when he told him he knew what to do if he and the pilot got knocked out....he said we just have to find another pilot in the plane to land us! He had been asking me the whole trip if he could go up front, I kept telling him that he needed to be invited, so this was the PERFECT ending to our trip (minus the two hour delay in the runway on our next plane).  Luckily Peyton fell asleep right when we got delayed so he didn't know the two hour leg took us four and a half....he woke up when we landed in Salt Lake and said "AAHH we're there already that was too fast"  You could hear all of the people around us chuckle!
