School's out for summer...

Well, not quite for the Leahy boys! This week we kicked off our first segment of "Mom School," a summer series of activities, lessons, field trips, art projects, etc. centering around a different theme each week. We tried this out last summer, and it provided some fun learning for the boys (and fun planning for Mom!) As we look ahead to this summer, we look forward to some creative adventures coordinating with the Mom School theme-of-the-week.

Up first: PLANES. And boy, do we ever live in the right region to learn more about this theme, thanks to the strong Air Force presence here! Here are some highlights from our high-flying week...

A squadron of pancakes!

Dinner at Solo's Restaurant (AKA the Airplane Restaurant).

You can eat dinner inside this plane!

Co-pilots Reid & Luke have everything under control on this flight.

They were ecstatic about being able to flip 

all the switches and push all the levers!

"Look, Dad, I'm flying the plane."

And of course, the Thunderbirds air show 

was the highlight of the week!
