On Thursday morning, we took a trip out to the airfield to see the Blackhawks! We know a Blackhawk pilot (the same one who took Chris for a ride!! ) and he graciously allowed us to come out and see the "herricopters" (as Jilli says!) The kids loved it!! They got to climb all around inside and see all the buttons and all the cool instruments. It was sooooo hot and we were all dripping sweat after just a few minutes. I can't imagine working out there every day! It's not even that HOT yet!!
Miah imagined himself shooting the bad guys out the gun window. He was really excited about the idea of that. Typical boy! I'm sure his dream job list now will include Blackhawk pilot! Jillian got really excited when they started some up out on the tarmac. She thought they were going to FLY! We had a blast and it was a wonderful field trip! Thanks again friends!!

Jilli strapped in. She loves to buckle things... but hates being buckled!
Jess - trying out the pilot seat!

Helicopters are so cool...its so fun to get inside and see what everything looks like! I can't believe how big your kids are getting...they grow up too fast!
that looks like fun. Unfortunately you didn't have a "real" airfield experience til you've seen a Chinook. Oh well for you! ha ha
