IAH - December 7th Houston Pilot's for Kids visit at Texas Children's Hospital

Description: On Thursday December 7th, the Houston Pilots for Kids group returned to the Texas Children's Hospital downtown. While we were not able to do room visits, we were able to setup a booth for their Winter Wonderland Group and bring some cheer to the kids. Our aviation themed both included an activity in which kids fly small airplanes into the hangar for a prize. We also had a pilot license photo prop for families to take pictures. We gave out a wide variety of gifts including pullback airplanes, pilot teddy bears, activity and sticker books, airplane cards and autographed children's books. The visit was a great success, and we plan on visiting again next year in both the Spring and Winter season!

The kids thoroughly enjoyed themselves as did the adults of whom several commented how nice it was to have an event like this on the weekend because of how challenging it can be in finding fun group and family activity things to do.
