A couple weeks ago Connor, my mom and I flew to Denver over fall break. It was Connor's birthday present, and so fun since he had never been on an airplane! We had 5 fantastic days with Matt and Ally, Emma and Isaiah!
Getting ready to get on the airplane! I forgot to properly prep Connor for what he can and can't bring in his luggage, and he had a few things confiscated...:( hair gel..toothpaste...etc. At least he didn't bring any weapons with him..:)
Friday we spent the day at the Denver Zoo, then we drove into the city. We happened to catch the "Beer Festival of America" going on, so awesome!
NOT!
Saturday we went to the Pumpkin' Chunkin" Apparently people prepare all year to enter the pumpkin catapult competition. They rig up their contraptions and see how far they can send their pumpkin by cannon like invention, or a catapult thing. There were pumpkins flyin' everywhere I tell ya!
On Monday we toured the Air Force Academy. It is a beautiful campus and Connor wants to be a pilot, so we thought we'd just take a look. Connor loved this day!!
We uh..sort of... snuck onto the AF Academy football field. It was deserted, and we had a blast!
Well...the back door was open! :)
We probably have a record now.
Honestly, it was such a highlight for me to just be with Connor and have some mom-son bonding time.
He is an extraordinary person!
