Memorial Day

We were spending Memorial Day finishing up so odd and ends around the house before going into Marshalltown to do run errands.   We heard a helicopter and upon investigation realized that it was a military helicopter and it looked like it was heading for the Veterans Memorial at the edge of town.  Greg and the kids hurried and got in the car to go watch it and to their surprise it landed at the memorial site. Not only were they able to see it close up but they were giving tours of it as well.  Greg was able to find out when it would be taking off and so when he got home we quickly finished things up and got ready to go to town.  On the way we stopped so the kids could be there when it took off.  They really enjoyed the experience.

All the way to Marshalltown and back they were busy pretending to be helicopter pilots.  They truly have active imaginations.
