A boy, a girl, and some airplanes

The kids have been on spring break this week. We started their spring break with a visit from Grandma and Grandpa, then a visit to South Carolina to see Aunt Renee, and then everyone went back to work except for the kids and I. Despite the "yellow season," we headed to the observation deck at RDU to enjoy a picnic lunch and some play time. For those of you that don't know what the yellow season is, you clearly aren't from here! It is the nastiness that is the massive amount of pollen coating EVERYTHING in thick yellow dust and it's disgusting. I decided, though, that it didn't matter. It was about 85 degrees out, and I knew the kids were going to want to play in the sand, so I figured they'd get a bath when we got home either way. Funny story... after we'd been out there for an hour or so, Kate decided to dump a handfull of sand down the back of my shirt... it wouldn't have been so bad except that my back was all sweaty since it was so warm, and the back of my shorts were gapped because of the way I was sitting. I had sand in places that sand just shouldn't be! Needless to say, that was the end of our airplane watching for the day! Thanks, Kate.
