My Little "Maverick"

We went to the Air Show in St. Cloud in June and we ended up spending the entire day there since there was so many jaw-dropping aeronautics taking place.  The Blue Angels and the Stealth Fighter Jet were the most amazing.  We were on the hunt for the Blue Angels replica jet as soon as we saw another little boy with one.  Cole is still playing with it though its one wing has been superglued together numerous times.

I got the idea for Cole's Halloween costume after attending that show as I thought how cool that would be to dress up in a jumpsuit with patches, a helmet and dog tags.  Cole's grandfather Denham and Great-Grandfather Roger were both military pilots.  So I searched high and low until I found what I wanted.

Halloween is still a bit challenging for Cole since he is wary of strangers and understandably questions why we want him to dress up and go up to the doors of people he doesn't know to get candy (and he doesn't like candy except for lollipops) but I think in due time, he will begin to embrace the holiday.
