Challenge Air Fly Day
There's this great organization called Challenge Air. They take kids with disabilities and their families flying in planes, and all of the pilots donate their time and their personal planes. Ryan is still unsure about the whole deal, but he's done it 3 times now. Each time he takes the wheel for a minute or so.
The view and the "sensation of flying" are so much more exhilarating from these small planes.
I grew up in Wisconsin and Texas and married a Texan. We have 3 redheaded kids, age 5, 8 and 9. We live in a suburban bubble, with the kids active in swimming, scouting and more. One of our children has a genetic form of autism and mental retardation. I have been an active volunteer for several organizations close to my heart, including Early Childhood PTA, our local Special Ed PTSA, and Girl and Boy Scouting. I also work as a Postpartum Nurse and my hubby works as a Systems Analyst. When we have time, we enjoy geocaching and traveling around the country with our pop-up camper and exploring what is off the beaten path. I am sometimes outspoken and opinionated, and I definitely don't fit the mold of the typical suburban mom. I don't scrapbook, I don't wear makeup, I mow my own lawn, and my fingernails are usually dirty from whatever project has me going!
