Sunday Ryan told us to meet him after nap at his Dad's house for a surprise. So as soon as the kids were awale I throw them in the car with some snacks for the 20 minute ride to Pa's house. We visit with Pa shortly then jump back in the car for another 20 minutes. This time we don't know where we are going! Of course, I figured it out fairly quickly but kept my mouth shut! So after a little complaining about why we have to be in the car so long (which I was plenty happy as it was 20 minutes of uninterupted knitting) we finally arrive at the surprise. We are at one of the bases where Ryan had worked this week. When we arrived the helicopter was not there and as luck would have it as we opened the door to the car we heard the familiar sound of the choppers whirl. The girls were excited to watch the helicopter land, although a little nervous at the very loud sounds and wind! They had fun (after the engine was off of course) exploring the inside and sitting in the pilot seat like daddy.
Then came the real fun!! A park right behind the base!! It was a super hot day but the girls still had a blast. Not only was there a park but a vegetable garden too!! Charlotte liked this the best and did a little harvesting while she was there! Oops! So it turns out Daddy planned a great day and we can't wait to see what we will do next time Dad :)
