In this day and age it is awfully hard to impress our kids. The one thing my kids love to tell their friends is "my mom is a skydiver!" I've always got a chuckle out of this. I'm often asked why I love to fly. I find myself explaining how amazing it is to prove to your kids you can do anything you want to! One day, I set my mind to skydiving, accomplished my goal, and now enjoy the gift of flight. Working at iFLY Indoor Skydiving I get to enjoy this gift even more. I've come to learn that indoor skydiving is even a cooler playground conversation. "Really, your mom works at iFLY?" The pride that comes over my kids' faces fills me with the kind of feeling that runs a chill through my veins. Imagine my joy when my 10 year old son, Sam, begged me to have his birthday party at iFLY. I watch other kids have their parties and how much fun they have all the time. How is it that I thought my own kids wouldn't see how special it is? I assumed they had become complacent because they get to fly every Saturday morning at our Kids Club. We scheduled Sam's party, and I became the customer. I got to experience an iFLY Birthday Party from a different perspective. The kids had a blast, the dads begged to fly too, everyone was hyped up, taking pictures, and three went home and asked their mom if they could have their party there! This just warmed my heart. Sam's party reminded me that I work somewhere special.
