At the Airport

So many people

The airport is big and busy. We check our bags at the counter. My dad holds my hand in the crowds.

My backpack rides the belt

Our bags ride on a moving belt. I walk through a tall door frame. A friendly worker waves us on.

We watch the planes

We sit near a big window. I see airplanes taking off and landing. My mom buys me a snack for the trip.

Takeoff

The engine hums

I buckle my seatbelt and sit tall. The airplane rolls and lifts off the ground. My ears might pop a little, and that is okay.

Above the clouds

I can read, draw, or rest in my seat. The flight attendant brings juice. The clouds look soft and white outside my window.
