Air Force Museum

We had fun this weekend and drove to Ohio to visit with Dave's brother Jimmy and his family. It was a lot of fun getting to spend some quality time together and getting the cousins all together! We spent Saturday at the Air Force Museum there and us and the kids all had a blast. Walking in together......


Benjamin sat down with this map and declared, "Okay, everyone come here and listen to this!"


I got several cute pictures of the three kids checking out the different airplanes together:




I told the kids to hold hands for a picture together. They struggled for awhile and kept making a circle. Once they finally got it right, they stayed that way for about 2 seconds before they......


TOOK OFF! They were going so fast, we were afraid they were going to "crack the whip" with Anna being the whip and all fall down. But they did surprisingly well running hand-in-hand together!

Watch out moon! Here comes Astronaut Benjamin!


and Astronaut Anna!!!!!


Benjamin with Uncle Jimmy climbing into the first airplane we got to actually go into. He was really cute and would follow Jimmy around and ask him what we were going to do next!


Inside the airplane above. Dave thought this was a good shot documenting the chaos that existed most of the day!


Cute little pilot!




We went outside the museum and ate a picnic lunch and then drove over to the hanger that has all of the Air Force One airplanes in it. This was Benjamin's favorite part and he told us that over and over again! We got to climb through three of the airplanes (all of which went down to 17 inches wide - I fit!)


Dave and Benjamin pretending to be flight attendants inside the airplane above. It's the one that Kennedy's body was flown on and that Johnson was sworn in as president on. Pretty cool, huh?!?! :)

It was a great visit and we had a wonderful time!
