For Memorial Day we decided to stay close, so we went to Hill Air Force Base. Zak loved it- he reads a lot of war books and was able to connect the planes to what he has read. Hallee and Blyss enjoyed it to seeing all the different planes. I ended up with Sicaly who didn't exactly love it and was bored. But it was neat seeing all these different planes and reading what they were used for, but it also made me really sad, being reminded of war and remembering those who fought for our country and died and knowing they would die. We read about one type of pilot who would wear an eye patch to save one eye if he got bombed/gased if he lived through it. I am so thankful for this free nation we live in and those who are in the armed force and help protect our nation.
