Spring Break fun

On Monday of Spring Break we were able to go up to Hill Air Force Base Museum. It was really neat. The kids had fun at times. Grandpa wanted to read every plaque, Malia wanted to run and run and run and I thought we got to see some really interesting things.

Here are the kids in front of the same kind of helicopter that was used in MASH (ya know that old show that all of our dad's like to watch).This is the airplane that was used for Air Force One during the Kennedy administration. Pretty historical eh?They have a hands on room where the kids can run flight simulators, sit in cockpits, play with other flying experiments and dress up like pilots and astronauts (which was my kids favorite part). Here's astronaut Morgan. Apparently it was also some of the adults favorite part too. Micah looks like a Star Wars pilot, so he was pretty happy about his flight suit.
Astronaut McKenzie.
Sitting in the cockpit pretending to fly.
We were also able to go to a wave pool in the area with grandma and grandpa which was tonz of fun (of which I did not get pictures of for obvious reasons). So now we've got two days down, only 3 to go.

looks like lots of fun! Hey Amelia has the same shoes as Makenzie! Next time we go to Utah we will have to go to that museum. My kids would love that. They loved the dino museum at Thanksgiving point!
