On Wednesday night our family had the opportunity to tour a part of the airforce base that is nearby. Our good friend Nick, who is in the Air Force, showed us around. I took a picture of this picture. It shows Mt. Rushmore with a B-1 bomber flying by. Pretty cool!
Our friend Nick works in the weapons part of the air force, I am sure there is some technical name that I am not aware of. Anway we got to see where he works, loading the weapons (bombs) onto the planes. We got to see inside of a life size pretend B-1 that they use for training purposes. We also got to see pretend bombs, also used for training purposes. It was all very exciting.
The kids enjoyed "playing" with the bombs. The two extra kids are Catie and James, Nick's kids and our good friends.
The ward that we are in is a military ward so the majority of our members are military families. Our bishop is a pilot and flies the B-1's. We are grateful for the many men and women serving in the military and their families and for the sacrifices they make on behalf of our great country.

Amanda,
Thank you a million times over for your kind response and support of me on Candy's blog. I cried as I read it. I must reiterate that as members of Christ's body we must support each other. We're all on the same team. I'm a Christian first and foremost, above all else.
thanks so much!
Cool pictures - I love the Mount Rushmore one!
Thanks for stopping by my blog - I always love to "meet" more grown-ups who speak 2-year-old. :)
