More pics from Wings of Freedom

We stuck around after the show to see the planes take off. The little airport had a miniature golf course and BBQ restaurant. This was the kids first time playing.

Chris' day off

A few post back I showed pictures of an airplane that flew over Danny's baseball game. Well, it turns out that it was part of a show called "wings of freedom". The show was leaving Springboro by the time we figured out what was going on, so yesterday Chris took a half day off from work. We drove to Columbus to catch it. They had a B-17, B-24, and a P-51 on display. We were allowed to tour the B-17 and B-24.

Danny in the B-17 I think?
Danny and I in the B-24

P-51 Mustang- Chris' favorite. We were not allowed on this one, but you could fly in it for a price.

Danny's birthday party

I am a little behind on posting. Here are some pictures of Danny's birthday party. My parents surprised us and came up for a few days. Very good timing, we needed the help.


Danny and Pop looking at the moon with his new telescope.

Danny blowing out candles on his Pirate ship cake. I did not make the cake myself- obviously.

Mia in the duck pond. My ducks didn't float the way that I thought they would and they were much smaller than I expected. But the younger kids liked them.

A good friend sent Mia a huge box of Princess dress up clothes and a hat box full of wigs for her birthday. This is Mia dressed as Cinderella- I think. I have a good picture of Danny dressed as Snow White wig and all, but Chris won't let me post it.

Cool sight

Danny plays a lot of sports through the YMCA. It just so happens that the Y is right next to a small runway. There are always a ton of planes practicing takeoffs and landings. Tonight during Danny's T-ball game we saw this taking off.

This plane is way bigger than the little 2 seaters that are usually here. Chris tells me that this is a B17 bomber. It was loud coming off the runway and drew the attention of all the little boys on the team. Danny thought it was so cool. There was also a P51 Mustang that took off once while we were there, but I didn't have the camera ready. Chris is a big military history buff, so this was pretty exciting.

Wegerzyn Gardens

My friend Kathy drove up to visit us from Richmond. We took the kids to a garden just like Lewis Ginter. The kids loved it! They had a few different water areas, caves, fish ponds and sand boxes.

This is Mia and Maddie in a stream.

Danny watering flowers.

Playing nicely together.
