I dropped off Ian, my adult child, at the airport today at 4:30am. Despite his maturity and the stunning level of togetherness he possesses for someone in their early 20s, I will continue to refer to him as my “adult child” for years to come. Mainly because I think it’s funny … and he’s learned to tolerate me.
During his 5 day visit we fell into familiar patterns, exploring, rockhounding, general outdoor nerdery and Mario Kart. To say the weather cooperated would be a stretch, although we did have some sun and mild temps to go along with the hail-snow and murder-winds.
