1000th POST!!

1000th Post...and what better than to post about our exciting adventure that we got to be apart of today...with our great friends that we met shortly before this blog began in 2005.....They are in the Air Force.....and on Saturday we are sadly saying good bye to them after spending the last 6 years with them!!

So today was Todd's last flight in the B1...and we got to go out the Air Force base and watch from the side of the runway as Todd landed!


Here we are all bundled up and being escorted out to the runway....of course Winter finally decided today of all days to show up!



If you look closely....you can see the lights of Todd's plane as he is approaching the runway


Eagerly awaiting his arrival with our ears covered!!


Taxing down the runway....


SO EXCITED!!


We even had the privilege to watch another one take off....now that was LOUD!



Todd coming in to park....



We chose to leave the babies behind with friends.....too cold and too loud for them!


Amanda getting a lesson in spraying the fire hose because.....


She got to spray Todd down as he came out of the B1....let's just say...today was a COLD day to be sprayed with the fire hose....(barely above 30 out there!)






Guess you could say..."cheap shot".....



We will miss you Patterson Family.....but wish you the best where ever you go!!
