Leo and Allen woke up early one soft, sunny morning in St. Augustine. The sky was still pale blue, and the world felt quiet and peaceful.
Today was a very special day. They were going on an airplane trip with their families to Dallas, Texas, to attend the wedding of Aunt Loretta, Leo’s kind and creative aunt.
The houses smelled cozy and warm as breakfast was prepared.
Leo enjoyed fluffy pancakes with fruit, and Allen sipped orange juice while nibbling toast. Everyone spoke in happy, gentle voices, careful not to rush.
After breakfast, bags were packed, hugs were shared, and both families climbed into their cars.

The drive to Jacksonville International Airport (JAX) felt calm and smooth. Trees swayed gently as the cars passed by.
Leo and Allen looked out the windows, counting clouds and imagining the big airplane waiting just for them.
When they reached the airport, everything felt exciting yet peaceful. Suitcases rolled softly, and friendly voices echoed through the halls.
Soon, it was time to board their Southwest Airlines flight. Leo held Allen’s hand as they walked onto the plane.
They found cozy seats by the window and buckled up carefully.
The airplane hummed like a lullaby as it slowly lifted into the sky. Leo and Allen watched the land below grow smaller and smaller.
White clouds floated by like cotton pillows. The boys shared a snack, smiled at each other, and soon felt sleepy.
With the gentle motion of the plane, their eyes slowly closed.
Before they knew it, the plane landed in Dallas. The families smiled, happy to arrive.
They picked up their bags and went to a nice, quiet hotel.
The rooms were soft and comfortable, perfect for resting. Leo and Allen washed up, snuggled into bed for a short rest, and dreamed of tomorrow.
The next morning was the wedding day.
Everyone dressed in beautiful clothes.
Leo wore a neat little suit, and Allen looked smart and tidy. The mothers wore lovely dresses, and the fathers smiled proudly.
The day felt calm, happy, and full of love.
They arrived at the Holy Trinity Catholic Church, which stood tall and peaceful.
Inside, candles glowed softly, and gentle music filled the air. Leo and Allen sat quietly beside their families.
When Aunt Loretta walked down the aisle, she looked joyful and bright, like a shining star.
Everyone prayed kindly for the couple, wishing them happiness, love, and many peaceful days together.
The boys felt warm inside, knowing they were part of such a loving moment.
After the ceremony, there were gentle hugs, friendly smiles, and happy conversations.
Leo and Allen met relatives and old friends, listening to soft laughter and kind words. The world felt safe and full of love.
That night, back at the hotel, Leo whispered, “I’m glad we came.”
Allen nodded sleepily, “Me too.”
Wrapped in their blankets, the boys closed their eyes.
They dreamed of floating clouds, ringing church bells, and smiling faces. The journey, the wedding, and the love around them stayed in their hearts.
And as the stars twinkled outside the Dallas sky, Leo and Allen drifted into a deep, peaceful sleep—happy, safe, and surrounded by family.
