Well, we didn't exactly fly away, but my little family did take a spur-of-the-moment helicopter tour of the city this afternoon. Now that we're back on the ground, safe and sound, I can say Coolest. Mother's Day. Gift. EVER!
 |
| Josh was captivated by the idea of flying. It was his first time. |
 |
| I was wondering if this would be my final Mother's Day! |
 |
| Spencer couldn't get enough of the views. He sat on Dad's lap. |
 |
| Downtown, Parliament, and bridges leading to Quebec. |
 |
| My view, sitting next to the pilot! |
 |
| Look how tiny this helicopter is! My hubby (left) kept telling himself not to put Spencer on his shoulders as he normally does! |
What an amazing experience. I've flown in commercial planes before, but this was a totally different animal. All those windows and the very close quarters makes the flying very 'real' compared to plane, which can feel like you're barely moving, especially if you're in an aisle seat. Take off and landing were also very fun, and totally different than a plane. LOVED it!
Happy Mother's Day to you all.
Oh wow! How amazing is that! Happy mothers's day tanya, glad it was a wonderful experience for you.
