"I Wanna Be a Firefighter When I Grow Up!"

Today was a walking field trip on the ground of the VA to the VA firehouse with Cannon's preschool. The kids were treated to the sounds of sirens and sights galore. They each got to sit in the driver's seat of the firetruck, walk through an ambulance and hold the firehouse. We got to tour where the firefighters rest, sleep and eat. When it was all done, each child got a goodie bag full of life saving tips and treats. It was a fun afternoon for all and the kids were all so good.

Pumpkinfest at Ridgefield Farm

Cannon's preschool took a trip to Ridgefield Farms this year. I took Colin along and we had a super time. When I asked Cannon what his favorite part was, he said picking a pumpkin in the patch, going on a hay ride and the pirate ship. The kids were adorable and we had a lot of fun.

2008 Martinsburg Air Show

We had a super great day at the 2008 Air Show. We enjoyed beautiful weather and lots of fun activities. When we first got there, Rob was reunited with a high school buddy who just happened to be the pilot of the largest aircraft in the US Airforce! It was so cool. Cannon and Daddy got a special tour. Then we headed off to some fighter planes where Cannon and Daddy geared up for battle. Colin was too little and Chance didn't want to get in. We stopped for a little snack break before hitting the inflatables! Cannon decided to take on a bigger boy in the pugle stick battle grounds. He got his butt kicked... poor thing, but it was funny! Then while Daddy and Chance went off for some funnel cakes, Cannon and Colin hit the moon bounces and worked off some wiggles. We ended our fun day watching the F16 fighter jet soar by at 650 miles per hour. We had a really great time.
