This is what happens when little boys make their own KoolAid.

On Friday we went on a field-trip to Camp Blanding in Starke, Florida.  It was one of the best homeschool field-trips ever.  Not only was the museum filled with wonderful things but the tour guide was interesting to listen to.  He never spoke down to the children and yet kept their attention the entire time.  We also had a huge surprise.  As we rounded a corner Mr. Parsone (I think that was his name) showed us a collection of pictures of a paratrooper and explain the pack on the statue belonged to that same paratrooper and that the gentleman holding up the back of our group is that same paratrooper, Mr. Tritt.  The kids were impressed to meet a real hero and soldier.  Here are a few pictures of our trip including a few of Mr. Tripp during World War II and one from now with my children.

     I had to include this picture because it is a great memory of Max dragging me to see the boat truck.

It was also a great treat to see Daddy at work on a job site.    

It was a great day.  We are all looking forward to going for a visit there again soon.
