FedEx 777F Delivery Day

Saturday was the delivery day for the newest addition to the FedEx fleet, the 777 freighter. This family day turned out to be a VERY fun day. They had so many things for kids to do.

Kaylee had to crawl on the purple carpet.

Here we are jumpseating on the 777. We imagined that we were going to someplace much warmer. It was a bit chilly that day, so it was nice to be able to thaw out, even if it was just in our dreams.

Kaylee is ON TOP OF THE WORLD!!!

Inside one of the feeder planes


You can hear Kaylee in the background say "OH MY". She loved every second of this special day. Unfortunately Marcus had to leave us early to go to work, but we stayed and fought the wind (and the drizzle) to experience it all.

This is one of the activities they had for the "little" children. Kaylee wanted to take this plane home with her.

After the 777 did its flyby it got "christened" by 3 fire trucks spraying water on it as it approached the hanger. It ended up stopping right in front of us outside the hanger. And I have to admit, it was a beauty. I couldnt believe how big it was!

As soon as we got in the car after the event Ainslee passed out. Kaylee wasnt far behind her, she just needed a little nudge to get her over the edge into dreamland. The only reason why I am telling you this is because she slept longer in the car than she has EVER slept in her entire life she slept for a WHOPPING 1 hour! and even then I had to wake her up because we were at the store. She slept through us dropping Rita and Ceire off and even through Rita squeezing by her to get out of the car. Let me tell you people this NEVER happens! First of all my kids dont sleep in the car, but if there is a blue moon out and they decide to drift off the definitely when the car stops moving my kids wake up, and the rare occassion that doesnt wake them, then opening a car door ALWAYS wakes them, but that day they slept through it all. I was so happy!
