Alright, it wasn't a tower of terror, but that sounded better than control tower. My cousin's significant other, Chris, works in the control tower at the Salt Lake airport and invited us all to go down for a tour. I'm 99% sure I was more excited than the kids.
It was a stormy Saturday and extremely windy. Going up 300 feet (25 floors) didn't really help that, either. ;) The kids loved watching the planes come and go (although there weren't too many because of the storm), but Kaden was entranced. He asked so many questions and was genuinely interested in all of the equipment and what it did. There's a catwalk at the top that we're allowed to walk on (with a very thick, concrete, almost shoulder high railing), but when we went out there the wind was CRAZY and Kaden was sure we were all going to fall off, so we didn't spend much time out there (maybe 20 seconds). haha
The super nice guards at the front let the kids keep their visitor's badges, which they all loved. :)

That's a cool experience! If Kaden becomes a pilot someday this will be what started it all.
