On Saturday Dad and Ma took us out to Selfridge Air base to watch an Air show! It was totally awesome. We got to go inside a refueling cargo plane and a Chinook. We saw all sorts of jets and planes. Then there was the stunts. When we got there a Chinook was dropping parachuters and a biplane was doing stunts. The Thunderbirds came later. The noise was incredible, especially when the fly really low over the lot. The stunts were so cool to see.

The kids stand in front of a large plane. Little did we know just how close we eould get to it!

Sam gets his picture with Lt Col Maybach. He was a very nice man, he told Sam all about his jet.

Caeley's turn,


Now Katren,


Ma,


And Dad.


The kids liked the cockpit. The officer inside told them all about it.


This is the inside of the plane. It was pretty cool.


The tail.


This was one of my favourites, the Chinook.


We went inside that one also.


Katren seemed to think it was pretty neat.


The Chinook cockpit.


Here are the Thunderbirds and their stunts.

Notice the one is upside down!





This is not a liftoff, that is the way he flew across the horizon!




Oz and I with the "California Girl" ;D


Sam, shortly before we left.


Caeley and I took a picture with Marine Capt Miller. Cool guy.


Ah, a Humvee!


The day was really cool. I hope we can go again next year.

My very first post

What should it be about? Hmm, let me think. Well, since it was my new friends from TN, perhaps my first post should be about them.
I have yet to formulate a post all about my month in TN. However I can show you a few of my favourite pictures and give you a brief idea of my time.

Okay so this is only a couple days after I arrived. We went out to eat at Cracker Barrel. This is Olivia, Hannah, and Candace.

These are my three helpers. They helped me mop the floor. From left to right, Engedi, Myself, Autumn, and Vision.

Here Olivia gives the thumbs up when the gas is finally filling up the truck. Yes that was something to be happy about, we had to have help to get the gas cap off!

Olivia, Hannah, Candace, and Myself. We went out shopping. Mercy took the picture for us. Thank you Mercy!

Pretty self-explanatory.

Probably one of my favourite pictures from my trip. I was just trying to snap Max's picture, but it turned out pretty cool.

Mercy and I were babysitting Serene's youngest three. While Shepard was up taking a nap I read to Vision and then Gedi. This was the result.

I played soccer with the kids. Girls against Boys. This is a shot of our first goal. We got first blood, but the boys ended up winning

A girl and her- strike that- her friends, GPS. Thanks to the forgetfulness of the Gilmore family, we had a GPS to use to get us to Columbia!

My buddy Gedi! I so wanted to meet her. She is such a sweet and loving child.

Diana, Mariela, and I sang "At the Ceili" at Hannah's wedding shower. It was such a blast. I sang Meav's part.

The Rubies Girls. Mariela, Hannah, Diana, Olivia, and Me!

Vange and I. Vange is so much fun!

This is Evangeline's youngest, Saber. Such a sweety. And I got to hold him.

Iqara and I. She took my hand when I offered it, to go walking. Then she just wanted to keep walking. I think she would have gone home with me (to her Nana's house) if I had let her. Her she is giving me 'cuddles'

Mercy. Love ya Merc.

Serene and I.

Self-taken picture of Mercy and Me.

Olivia, Me, Diana, Joy, Mercy, Jess, and Mariela. I love this picture.

You know I had to take a picture of the Sommet Center. This is from inside the bus station.
