Boalsburg

At the last minute, we decided to go up to Boalsburg on Sunday for the memorial service. It turned out to be a really nice day. They had all kinds of helicopters and tanks that the kids could crawl through. Cody was uncharacteristically shy in the beginning and didn't want to go on anything, but Sarah crawled right up with Daddy.

The only thing Cody was interested in were the guns (surprise, surprise) and he talked to this soldier who told him all about them.

By the end, Cody was much braver and ran around with my cousins kids checking things out.

He wore this flight vest, but he couldn't walk in it. It weighed almost as much as him!

After the service was over, the helicopters took off one by one and flew over the grounds. Sarah waved goodbye to all of them.

She mostly enjoyed running around the grounds while waiting for the next helicopter to get warmed up.

She thought it was hilarious to snort like a pig. My little princess!

Bobbleheads

We drove up to State College the other day to buy Cody a bigger helmet for his 4-wheeling because it hurts his ears to take this one off. The man at the store advised us that Cody's helmet is fitting him nicely and we shouldn't get a bigger one. They did, however, have a girl's helmet on sale for half price, and once Sarah put it on, she didn't want to take it off. So, we didn't get what we went for, but now we have a matching set of bobbleheads!

Bear!

The other day, Cody was napping on the couch and Sarah and I were making dinner. All the sudden, I looked outside and saw a bear walking around my car. I thought that Cody wouldn't want to miss it, since the two of them are always talking about bears and growling. I tried to wake him up, "Cody, Look! Look! There's a bear!" Well, Cody didn't wake up, but Sarah shrieked in pure terror. I was so surprised! The bear didn't hang around too long after that, turns out he was scared of us too!
