The Naval Airstation

 Ben's Grandfather as well as uncles are buried in the cemetery at the Air station.  It was by far the most beautiful cemetery I have ever been in. What was most striking to me is as you walk along looking at the graves you can help but notice that some of the stones have writing on both sides.  After further inspection I noticed that most of the time it was the wives of the soldiers; it would say His Wife.... so and so and then the date and whatever commemorating thought the family inscribed.  It spoke volumes to me that the wife was inscribed on the back, symbolizing the backbone of the families while some of these men were away at war.  The strength that these women must have had to endure life with there husbands in other parts of the world.  I thought it very fitting. They didn't hold any fancy titles like many of the husbands- just "His Wife".  I really loved it and I think one day whenever I am buried next to Ben I think I will just have them put His Wife Karah.
 At the museum there were a lot of co-pits for the kids (and Ben) to sit in and they all loved it!
 Beau loved this helicopter!!

See Beau pointing... he did this with everything. He was so excited and made sure to tell me to stand back everything was dangerous. 
 Beau didn't want to stop for the photo op.

After this Beau wanted Avery to sit with him every time. (He made sure to tell here not to touch the switches- they were dangerous)



 This was a big plane- Ben said this was the kind he wanted to fly, saying "see I fit- they told me I was too tall."  noticed he sat in the front moving his son to the back- Beau enjoyed it just as much.
 Avery got plenty of flight time herself.

Sneak peek-
Sunday we took some pictures in Granny's yard and I think they are great!

 Avery wasn't thrilled about the tractor photo shoot- I think she might have been hungry.
Don't worry more to come!
