Ok, so most of my posts are focused solely on Kaliese and Braedyn and rightly so, since they occupy 99.9% of my day-to-day. While this post still speaks of them, we will branch out to other areas of interest.
Saturday started out at Kal's baseball game and then we ate lunch with Sara, Kal and Kamden. We had a very good visit.
The main event followed with attending WWII Days at the airport in Peachtree City. That was a little less fun for the kids, but Braedyn still enjoyed the airplanes. This wasn't really an airshow, even though they did have some of the planes flying. It was more of a WWII re-enactment. They had some battles, demos and presentations of different aspects of the war.

Afterwards, we dropped the kids off with the wonderful aunt Katie, so we could meet our Sunday School class for an outing to Stone Mountain. The plan was to get there, eat, play some games and watch the Laser Show. However, about the time we finished eating, it started to rain. We headed back to headed back to Mcdonough and finished the evening with milkshakes at Truett's. Not really as planned, but a fun night out with friends just the same.

While at the WWII days, we had the pleasure of meeting "Dutch" Van Kirk, who was the navigator on the Enola Gay. The record log he kept of all the missions of the Enola Gay (including their most famous) sold for over $350,000 at auction. He was there signing books in order to help fund a WWII museum in Savannah. He addressed a book to Braedyn and Kaliese and was a bit confused about why their names needed to be so difficult to spell (we get that a lot). The kids really didn't understand who he was and they may never care that they have an autographed book from him. But Brian and I thought it was a very unique opportunity, and should one of them ever be half the history nut that their parents are, then this should be a cherished memory for them. The book was also signed by "Hap" Chandler who flew over 35 missions during the war.
