Kids and Flying!

Nobody is more excited about my climb up "Everest" than my son Teddy. He is totally ready to start taking flights as he puts it: "Just with you Dad!" Teddy also loves fishing and we eventually want to be able to fly up north and take advantage of waters which you can't reach quickly or easily by car.
I worked on the written last night and tonight. I took a combined 100 question test on chapters 1-4 last night and scored 95% and today I did the same with 60 questions and scored 90%. I have the goal of scoring 100% on the written, but I just don't know...I think I'd have to go really crazy to go from somewhere in the 90's to 100%. I do have a family and do have to work...but we'll see....I haven't given up the idea, just trying to honestly evaluate what this entails. Some of the harder chapters are still ahead of me too, like the weight/balance and takeoff/landing distance calculations. I'm doing this so far without ground school. I wouldn't mind a really good ground school, but the time and money involved may be prohibitive....either way though, still climbing the Everest...no turning back this time!
