After lessons today, my 11 year old son was looking through the issue of Boy's Life which arrived earlier.
"Hey mom, listen to this!" he said excitedly. "At Rockies' Stadium in Denver (aka Coors Field), because it is so high, they have a row of purple seats near the top that marks the one mile altitude mark. That's pretty cool"
He looked up at me. I stared bemusedly at him. "What?" he asked after a minute.
I was so bemused because he HAD been there, and we dragged him (not literally) kicking and screaming right up to that row and made him grimace for a picture, as we were driving on our way to move here.
Well, at least now that he thinks it is cool, he can say that he's done it.
(another point to remember you exuberant moms of young ones who don't want their kids to miss anything...if it is before they are ten, they are just as likely to forget it as to remember it...and if they are male, probably more likely. My kids have forgotten more 'special experiences' than you could ever fathom)

We usually sit in the cheap seats, above the purple row. ;)
