SkyWest celebrated 40yrs in business a few weeks ago and held a big party at their Hanger in SLC...It was actually on a night that Justin was home so we loaded up the kids for some free food and entertainment. Every year SkyWest holds a Mini-Indie...the kids(especially the boys) were drooling over these cars. With no brakes or blocks in front of the tires, I had to stop the boys from creating their own Mini-Indi several times. Sam was distraught when I had to pry the steering wheel from his hands. Luckily, the kind man making balloon animals nearby appeased his sadness.
They had lots of games and activities set up. We made and flew paper airplanes through hoops for a t-shirt. Sorted and chucked bags like real Rampers. Raced to pack and unpack a suitcase.
Rode the baggage cart "Train" ( another huge hit with the kids.
Stood in line forever to get our faces painted and passed the time by swapping war stories with fellow pilot wives. Even Sam got and airplane on his arm which he quickly investigated by generously licking. Thank goodness for non-toxic paint.
Toured a mocked up trainer plane that they use during training to simulate emergencies and practice procedures for all that crazy stuff that happens at 30,000 feet. The kids ate hot dogs and ice cream while we listened to a Flight Attendant jam out Lady Gaga on the accordion. I know what your thinking, but his guy really rocked!! He made the accordion cool with his superb musicianship and witty antics. Good Times...Good Times!!
