They'll also have hot dogs and sodas for free, and we'll have books and such to take home with us. This is gonna be so cool!RSVP to Julieanne

What a wonderful day! The history of airport was fascinating, I learned so much that I didn't know. We got to tour the original control tower and then see the airplanes and life flight helicopter. The kids got an absolute blast out of being able to climb in the planes. Will was so cute, he sat in the cockpit of one of the small planes and kept pushing buttons saying "go up, go up!" and he would point to the sky!

Brett talked to the admission officer from Cincinnati State about their aviation mechanics program. It is a 3 year program and once certified jobs average over $20 an hour plus benefits. It will be interesting to see if it is something he decides to pursue....especially since he only joined me on the tour for the free hotdogs!

A breakthrough for Will too...he actually saw 2 different babies nursing and didn't demand "boob, boob", he was more interested in the planes! Maybe there is hope he will wean before he heads off to college (or flight school)!

We learned that they will be offering free flights for kids on June 10th at the Clermont County Airport. If we don't have baseball that morning, I think we will head out. The kids actually get to FLY the plane!
