Fall Festival

So, this was the kids school the Friday before Halloween. They had games, activities, etc. The kids had a blast. It was a little overwhelming. There were a lot of kids running around. But we did it, and the kids had earned a bunch of tickets, and were totally excited to use them for their "prizes" this was one.. hair coloring.. Face painting..
Balloons... (yes Emma's and Zack's lasted for about 10 min) then popped... I thought she was going to cry her heart out.. Over a balloon?? Really?

This was the best though. I had to work on the deck, so I didn't get out until 5 pm which was getting close to "night ops". I showed up right as these beauties were taking off. It was loud, and windy. But, the reason I am so proud.. Emma goes it's loud!! and Zack says, "Emma really? That's the sound of freedom!" and looked at me. I thought my heart would burst. Sappy, silly, maybe. But, hey my kids know what those cobras and 46 flying over us every day mean. People who are protecting us. Felt soooo proud! :) Cobra- literally 25 ft from us..

46 the transport bird.. The kids had a blast climbing in and out of it.
