T-ball field trip

Allie's T-ball coach is a helicopter pilot for the army or national guard, and because we didn't have a game on Monday he invited us to take a tour of the Army Heliport. It was really very cool. We got to climb inside a Black Hawk Helicopter. Here are some of the pictures that we took.

so allie has t-ball? I'm jealous, they don't do it for kids that young up here. Ethan will have to wait until he's five, so next year.
