Our new friend

If any of you reading this post have ever had the pleasure of meeting our son Colton it doesn't take long to figure out that he is obsessed with airplanes.  (Yes, I know that he didn't have much of a chance being born into our family).  Colton has probably racked up more frequent flier miles than most adults, and can probably figure out the type of aircraft flying overhead more accurately than most adults as well.  Conversations with Colton usually involve discussions about how cool floats would look on a certain type of aircraft and whether or not it is a tail-dragger.  

Our stay at Mission Aviation Fellowship headquarters this summer only put fuel on the fire.  We have a new friend in our house and his name is "Petey the Plane."  Petey is the mascot for MAF and stars in a video telling kids about MAF.  We were sent home with a DVD cartoon of Petey and I am afraid that Colton is going to wear it out!  We also thought that it would be cute to buy him a "Petey the Plane" t-shirt and that he might like it.  He likes it alright!  It has become quite the permanent fixture on Colton and I have coax him and peel it off of him to just to wash it every-once-in-awhile.  

I wouldn't want to deprive any of you out there of the "Petey the Plane" fun so here is the video.  It is actually quite informative and even adults can learn a few things by watching it.  (There is a twist at the end you need to look for too).
