Aaron's Birthday - iFLY Utah


Aaron is such a brat! I know, I know.... nothing you don't already know or haven't heard but it is especially true today. Let me start out by saying that every time I have tried to surprise him for his birthday or Christmas, he always finds out. Take the time I bought him a new guitar for his birthday last year. He hadn't asked for one in quite a while and I thought I would finally be able to surprise him. Nope! He went through my internet history and found out I had been to a few guitar store websites. Aaron is like a large child when it comes to surprises... he can't stand the not knowing and does everything possible to figure it out. This year was going to be different. I was finally going to be able to surprise him, or so I thought. I planned a date to go up to Ogden to iFly Utah. It is a skydiving experience without actually jumping out of the plane. I told only one person... my mom. Everyone else that asked what we were doing was told NOTHING! I couldn't risk it! So, last night he asks me, with a huge grin on his face, if leaving at 4:30 would give us enough time to make it up to Ogden. I, trying to play it cool, said "Who says we're going to Ogden?" To which he replied "So, we can go to iFly." BRAT! (Although I think I used a little more colorful language). I told him that was it, I was cancelling the date, we were staying home, and I was going to make him German Pancakes (his least favorite meal). To which, he gave me his "I know I'm a brat but I'm a cute brat" look and I kind of forgave him; At least enough to actually follow through on the date. It was so much fun. We were able to "fly" in the air chamber twice and we had a blast. I guess the next step is to actually jump from an airplane.... maybe! Happy Birthday to the biggest Brat I know! I love you!

Aaron didn't find out anything from me . . . my lips were sealed! Aaron, you really are a BRAT, but, we love you anyway! You are the best detective I know. Maybe you need to open a detective agency! Don't get any ideas, I'm only kidding!

This looks like fun and probably as close as I would ever get to actual sky diving. How did Aaron find out? Doesn't he know that being surprised is the best?!
