SAC Museum

We had yet to visit the SAC museum in Ashland, NE. This year, Fontenelle Forest began offering a joint pass with the SAC museum which we purchased in the spring. We finally made it out there.

B-52 Cockpit (or "Flight deck" if you're being PC). Benjamin could have spent hours in there, but there was a line of kids. Ryan went back a few weeks later and the museum was deserted, but Benjamin almost had a potty accident in it so his play time was cut short.The "Rainbow playset" was the biggest hit. They had advertisement dvds and Ryan grabbed one. Benjamin wanted to watch it over and over. Ryan thinks we need a "Rainbow" to replace our rickety playsets that twist when two 40 lb kids are on the glider swing.

728th Family Day

We went up to Westpoint, NE for Ryan's Army Reserve Unit's family day. I brought the bounce house in Ryan's parents' van. The FRG sold raffle tickets to put whipped cream pies in the faces of the unit's leadership and Ryan was sure he wouldn't be pied "because the soldiers don't know me well enough"... yeah right.
They gave Benjamin the opportunity to "pie" his daddy and he thought it was great fun.

We didn't have to return the bounce house until Monday morning and thought about putting it up in our driveway, but we didn't want to have to fold it up again.
