Blue skies!!! Finally!!!!

So I learned where the term "going the whole 9 yards" and "Hell hole" came from, both from WWI lingo.

Yesterday morning, I grabbed the kids, and hauled them to the Rexburg Air Show with my parents and Russell. We were a little late, but it was still fun to see the airplanes. Dad's brothers were there, with some family. Ryan told Mom he wanted to introduce her to his "...soon to be fiance' - wife". She has a son that I am guessing to be about the same age as one of his boys. It was good seeing them. Of course he had to be a stink and cover his face with the paper.

Dad found out they were hiring out a ride on one of the airplanes, and got all the information on the trip, and then talked himself out of it. BUT after all was said and done and he was home relaxing he changed his mind and WENT on the ride!!! How cool is that!!!

I also got a picture of the type of air plane that he will be going in this fall for a considerably longer length of time. It is a smaller aircraft, and was used for training during WWII. I would have to ask Dad for the right names.

The kids had fun, but the two older ones are reaching the ages that I will probably need to start bringing their friends along, their most fun was running into the kids they knew and breaking away from the family...... And it begins....... Sigh.

Chris and a couple of guys from the unit went to McCall today for breakfast and then drove to the head of McCall Lake to kind of revisit the 2000 fires they were called up for crash rescue support for.

When the kids called Pop tonight to wish him Happy Father's Day, he told us he is taking a run to Jackson Hole on Mon/Tues and will be picking up a load in Idaho Falls after that, so he will be stopping by to say hello Mon/Tues. The kids are so excited!!!

This is video of the airplane Dad went on last night.
