Totally cool!
I decided to take O to the park after school today. The park she likes to go to is at the school that M attends. The playground is separate from the school with it's own parking lot. The playground is entirely fenced in with only one way in/out.
ANYWAY - we get there and a US Army chopper had JUST landed on the school grounds!! At first, everyone was a little nervous about it. Turns out it was approved by the school. One of the pilot's had a child at the school and they arranged to bring the chopper to the school to let the first and second graders check it out!! We met one of the pilots - he was very nice. He even took a picture of me, O, Mary and Liz. What a nioe guy! Thank goodness I brought my camera! I even got to go over and say hello to M when her class came outside. I took her picture with one of her buddies while they were outside. It was pretty cool when the chopper lifted off. The kids were cheering and everyone was clapping.

Wow! How cool. That picture of Moira and her friend is a classic! Make sure to get a print of that to save for when she is grown. :-)
