Like Father, Like Son

When Wes was a little boy, he was fascinated with planes and flying. Today he can identify a plane flying hundreds of feet above us and then rattle off specific details about it. I amuse him and shake my head and "ooh" and "aah", but honestly, I don't ever remember what is said. Today, I have learned that Keagan will gladly replace my unenthusiastic claims of interest with his genuine fascination with fighter jets.
This picture was taken today when we toured the Mighty 8th Airforce Museum, and although Keagan might not be able to tell you all about the F-4 Phantom (the plane in the picture), he can tell you anything you want to know about the F-14 Tomcat. Because with his last bit of money saved throughout the past year, he bought a model plane set. It even came with a trading card, and this afternoon, after it had been put together and he tried to get Maybelle (it was determined on Friday that the cat is a Maybelle and not a Merlin) to play fighter jets with him, Keagan declared his new model plane "better than playing the Wii."

Evan was not so easily convinced that learning about planes could be actual fun. He was much more impressed with the go-carts that were conveniently located next door.
Well, really, if truth be told, the other two boys found it pretty fun, too.
