We had a great opportunity this past weekend to spend some time with Uncle Steve at the War Plane museum in Hartford.  The boys had a great time looking at all the airplanes and even getting to sit behind the controls!  All-in-all we had a great time!  It was really neat to see the two boys engage their imaginations and feed off each other’s creativity.  Clearly, Mr. Ryan was the Captain and he quickly established that role.  Mr. Coop-A-Doop, on the other hand, was simply happy to be included in the operation.  Their pre-flight check did start with a few bumps in the road as they negotiated their roles.

Imagine yourself on a flight to Hawaii.  You’re excited to be going away to a beautiful place as you settle into your seat. Then, from the cockpit of the plane you hear:

Captain 1: “I’m the pilot!”Captain 2: “No!”Captain 1: “Yes, I’m going to drive!”
