High-flying adventure.

Scott has been working a lot of overtime lately preparing for a big client demo last week, so he decided to take today off. What a treat for us all to have an extra day with him during the week! We decided today's Spring Break activities would include a daytrip to Denver. We lunched at one of our favorite eateries -- Crushery on Old South Pearl Street. Our next stop was for a high-flying adventure for Scott.

For Christmas, Luke and Reid gave their dear ol' Dad a gift certificate to an indoor skydiving facility called SkyVenture Colorado. With about 30 minutes of training beforehand, Scott was then outfitted in a special skydiving suit, goggles, and helmet and was off to brave the vertical wind tunnel with windspeeds of 120 mph plus. Scott was a natural from the moment he stepped -- or rather floated -- into the tunnel. With the boys' love of a certain flying superhero (Superman), they thought it was pretty amazing to watch Dad in flight, too. If only they let Scott wear a cape...

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a skydiving Scott!

Scott loved this Christmas gift from Luke & Reid!
