We have been planning on coming down to the Lower 48 while Curtis was gone. I happened to call the Elmendorf Terminal (located in Anchorage) last Friday morning. On their recording it said that there was a flight directly to General Mitchell, Wisconsin. WoW! It couldn't have been more perfect. I wouldn't have to buy 5 tickets to get where I needed to go.
So we packed our bag in a few hours and hit the road down to Anchorage (about 6 hours south.) We got a hotel room and had to be at the terminal at 6 to sign up for the flight. Of course, I could hardly sleep because I was so worried that we wouldn't get on the flight.
We were the first ones on thanks to Curtis' deployed status. So we made the 6 hour flight right to Milwaukee on a KC 135. It was a fun experience. And it was FREE!!
Since we have been home it has been mostly playing outside.
The trampoline is always a hit, especially since ours has still not been set up because of the new grass that hopefully grows while I am gone.
Boys and their tricks!
Caleb and his Indiana Jones swing.
And there is nothing like playing with your cousins!
We went to the Kenosha Beach on Lake Michigan to meet up from friends from Whiteman AFB. Our friends, the Dempsey's, have 5 little girls similar in age to our children.
Caleb loved the "ocean". He hasn't stopped asking to go back but with our swim suits next time.
Ahh...the wonderment of the big blue water!
We vistited a light house. Unfortunately it was locked and we couldn't take them up it.
We also went to the Jelly Belly Factory. It is always wonderful to be at a place where candy is made!! Jake tricked my into eating a Moldy Cheese Jelly Belly. It was terrible. He had better watch his back....I know where he sleeps!
