Colt's Birthday Present

Haha! It was terribly bright.

Colt has always been fascinated with helicopters, and harbors a secret fancy of getting his pilot's license. So, for his birthday/Father's Day present, I scheduled him for a helicopter demo-flight at a local flight school. He was given a few instructions and some information about the helicopter, then he got inside with a certified pilot and was able to fly the helicopter himself! My parents were in town for the weekend, so they were able to come with Jace and I to watch Colt take-off. It was SO cool! I was a little nervous at first, but as we watched the blades start to spin and the helicopter lifted off the ground, I couldn't help literally jumping up and down with excitement as I snapped a million pictures. I was pretty sure Colt would like his gift, but I didn't expect to get so excited myself just watching from the tarmac! 

Colt is a pretty easy-going guy, and he's generally not one to wear his emotions on his sleeve. It can be hard to tell when he's happy, or sad, or excited, etc. But today was different. Before we left, he kept telling me how much he was looking forward to his present, and the smile still hasn't left his face. I hesitate to use the word "cute" when referring to my manly husband, but he was like a giddy little boy.  I love making him so happy. :) 

Hole in one, Mrs. Plessman. Hole. In. One.
