Our First Helicopter Ride

On Friday we headed over to Blue Hawaiian Helicopters for our first ever helicopter ride.  Finley (Clifton and I too) was SO excited to ride in the helicopter.  We had spotted helicopters all week long and Finley kept asking if it was the blue one that we were going to ride in.  We booked the two hour Big Island Spectacular and boy was it ever spectacular.  Finley did great buckling in and getting her headphones on.  She was so brave!  Our pilot Noah was great with her and really kept her involved for the ride, at least for the volcano portion of the trip.  By the time we made it to the Kohala Coast for all the waterfalls and amazing valleys, Finley was fast asleep.  There was no waking her up.  The pilot said it was quite common for little kids.  I cannot wait to ride in a helicopter again!  If anyone wants to stop by and view the two hour DVD from our ride, feel free to stop by =)

If you ever get to the Big Island of Hawaii, I highly recommend taking a helicopter tour. It was the highlight of our trip. The best part was how wonderful the staff was with Finley, she was at ease the entire trip, even when our pilot was getting a little crazy with the copter!
