Planes and Birthday pies

Last Saturday, we went to the Legacy Flight Museum, in Rexburg Idaho. They have around 20 planes there, all older models. They even have a small model of the airplance that the Wright brothers flew. Here we are in front of the Grumman TBM-3 Avenger. This airplane was flown in 1941, just after the attack on Pearl Harbor.

We let each of the kids choose their favorite plane to have their picture with. Here's Krysta with the "Section Eight", a P51-D Mustang, also flown in WWII.

Here's Emalyn with "Ole Yeller", also a P51-D Mustang. You can probably guess why it's called "Ole Yeller".

Here's Tyler with the Douglas E-1 Skyraider. This was his favorite because of the number of guns/missiles you could see.

Yesterday was Scott's birthday. We had a lot of fun. He requested a dinner of Montreal-seasoned pan-seared steak, green salad, rolls and for dessert, pumpkin pie. Around here, we don't really love cake, so we often have substitutes for our "birthday cake". Scott chose pie.

Here is Scott and our very excited children, with his presents. The kids and I made up a treasure hunt for him to find his presents. Needless to say, since they helped make the hunt's clues, they also had no problem helping him when he couldn't figure out where to go next. But he finally found his treasure of presents. Emalyn gave him a drawstring bag she made, Tyler gave him a coupon to clear his dinner dishes away, and we also gave him Reese's candies and a belt sander.

We hope we did a good job of showing how much we love our husband/father. He works hard for us, and we love him very much!
