She's almost 10. I was a little unsure wether she would enjoy it or not, she spends more than her fair share of time at the local airport asking "are you done talking yet, what else do you have to work on?" I gave her fair warning that there would be non-stop walking and daddy talking about airplanes.
The shorter time frame was good although I think we both would've liked to have stayed another day. When we were driving home she said I'm not allowed to go back to OshKosh without her.

That's awesome... Next year, plan to spend several hours at Kidventure. My ten year old daughter did nearly all of the kiddo activities and we both had a blast.

Camp is all set!
Airshow watching with her "free swag sunglasses!"
Getting ready for the Dierks Bentley concert.
I couldn't not take a pic of her in front of a row of Mustangs and OSH Tower.
We headed north out of OSH for breakfast in Door County Wisconsin, 180 miles isn't that far out of the way in the RV. We flew right over the Packers stadium on the way.
Ephriam (3D2) has a bunch of bikes at the airport so you can pedal yourself the mile or two into town. We both had a good time!

What a great adventure you had.
I was the camo RV parked next to you.
Brought memories with my boys when they were her age.

Trip to Remember
What a great experience for both father and daughter. She will remember that for a lifetime. Reading your post made me feel something I don't feel very often. Jealousy!

Wow that's wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
Seeing Oshkosh, or just enjoying flying with an interested youngster is priceless.
