The boy has wings

So, last Saturday we let the boy take a trip with his uncle by plane for the day. It was a grand success. Here's a summary of his day in his own words.

My Trip with My Uncle Mike
by Jared, age 10

Whoosh! The plane set off into the sky. I told my Uncle Mike that the view was awesome. "Yep," he said, "amazing." When he told me we were about 11,000 feet above the ground I was thinking, "What! 11,000 feet!" The rest of the flight went on with my face pressed against the window.

When we got off the plane we met my Aunt Sheila inside the terminal. We signed me up for my flight back (just to get ahead) and went to the parking garage when I asked my uncle where we were going. He said we were going to a place called Kemah Boardwalk.

When we got there I saw the craziest carnival rides you could ever imagine. There were things like the Invert, the Drop Zone, and the Aviator. They all looked crazy to me, but my Uncle Mike and I went on the Aviator and had a bunch of fun! After the ride, I got some Dippin' Dots and we saw a game where you could win a Scooby Doo plushie. Before we did that we decided to walk around and when we stopped at the dock, we saw a bunch of catfish. My Uncle Mike told me to watch as they would swarm for his spit. He spat into the water and they gulped it up. I did the same. We started walking farther and came across a vampire/magician who was cracking a bunch of corny jokes. I told my uncle Mike, “This guys tries too hard.”

We made our way back over to the booth where you could win the Scooby Doo plushie. We were hoping to play only the 3 of us, but we ended up with a few other players, so we had some competition. My Uncle Mike won the plushie and I took it home.

When we decided to go back to the terminal, I decided to eat at Wendy’s, but they didn’t have a kid’s meal. So I ended up getting about a 6-inch slice of pizza from a different restaurant. When we had eaten and gotten ready, I got on the plane and my Uncle Mike told me, “Try to look for me and your Aunt Sheila in the window and we’ll be waving.” I said okay, and when the plane took off, I saw them waving and I waved back.

I had an awesome day!
