Last week of summer and Lunch with Dad... and some cool airplanes

We are having a non-stop party the last week before Drew starts school. Right when we moved here, Drew did soccer summer camp, then went to stay a week with my mom, then a week in summer baseball camp, and now for the week before school starts, we have something planned every day just for him!

On Monday, we went to the Ark (massive indoor playground) with some new friends, Tuesday we went to Going Bonkers which is also quite the indoor play complex, and on Wednesday, after registering Drew for a bus pass all morning, we were able to visit David for lunch! The kids had not seen where David works yet and it was quite the experience.

Drew outside Southwest Airlines where Daddy works now
Inside the main office - tons of those airplanes hanging from the ceiling - the picture could not capture them all but it did capture David and his kiddos
Walking down the halls to his office
At the cafeteria eating lunch with Dad
Drew took this picture but it's a bit blurry
Right outside the window where we were eating, you could see planes taking off an landing. We went out on the upper deck to see it all take place.
Here is just a view of the planes and notice a sand volleyball game going on - yes, those are SWA employees!

Plane coming in to land right in front of us
Just as the wheels touch down - you can see the smoke!
SWA is a very cool place to work - just such an ideal job right now for our family. I'm so glad the kids got to see it, especially Drew before he starts school this year. They print out these fancy name tags and there is plane memorabilia everywhere. The kids had a lot of fun being there and now, we're off for our last two days with Drew before school starts!
