There's an Apache in the back yard

So, what did you do this morning?

I went to go see the Apache helicopter that landed in our backyard...

In my pajamas...

And my crocheted slippers...

With Sophie...

While Lisa was in the shower.

So have you ever seen the Arlo & Janis cartoons - where the adults turn into little kids when they are excited/happy? I think that's what happened to me, I became a 6 year-old that looks like an adult. Sophie I were playing in the living room and I heard a helicopter fly over pretty low. I didn't think much of it until it flew by again and sounded even lower, and then didn't fly away. I ran out to our porch and watched it drop below the tree line no more than 2 blocks west of us. Thinking like a 6 year-old, I grabbed a camera to run over and take some pictures, thinking like an adult, I decided to bring my phone and Sophie too.

I drove the two blocks and found the helicopter just powering down in the front yard of an elementary school. I grabbed Sophie and quickly drover over and started taking pictures. Here's a few of them.

When the gunner and the pilot stepped out, they invited everyone who had gathered to get a closer look. Apparently they were flying in as part of some Boy Scout activity that was going on. Because most of the people were still standing behind a chain link fence when I took the above pictures, there was a 6 year-old boy first in line with Sophie as his excuse. We got some great photos.

Check out those slippers!!
