Jackson's 15th Birthday

Jackson turned 15 in October. We celebrated with a road trip to Omaha's Strategic Air & Space Museum. Jackson's new found love is aviation and aviation history.

We also spent an afternoon at the amazing Omaha zoo.
We all had a great time hanging out together, and checking out the animals. And have promised to never ever mention that unfortunately incident on the Skyfari. (a better name would have been scarefari- cause one of us bout had a meltdown about how high it was and how inherently unsafe it is to put us up there with only one tiny little bar holding us in. One guess who it was. But I am betting they'll tell the story at my funeral. They laughed all the way home.)

Then as a gift for his fifteenth birthday Jackson started learning how to fly.

It was a bit nerve racking watching the little boy I gave birth to flying into the heavens in that little plane. But he absolutely loved it. Jackson actually did the take off.


They flew over the house, the stadiums and downtown KC.
