Flight Simulator

David has some connections at Southwest and he landed us some time in a real flight simulator the pilots use to train on. So, we took the whole family on Tuesday night to enjoy the experience.

 Dilan and Drake excited to take off
 Drew was up first. He chose to fly into Houston of all the cities in the world. David was a great co-pilot too.
 Then it was the girls' turn. Dilan pretended to fly while I did all the work and it was hard work too! We took off, did barrel rolls in the sky, and landed as well. 
 David flew in the captain's seat next and Drake sat as co-pilot. He couldn't stop touching the buttons!
 Our family had a fun experience flying an airplane in the simulator. We have great respect for pilots and their jobs!
