Carnival and Helicopter Museum
There is a small carnival that comes to our town every year. So we took the kids there last Thursday after dinner. The weather was perfect. The rain stopped that day and the temperature had cooled down quite a bit.
Olivia and Evan had a great time riding the mini rollercoaster (they rode it many times) and the Ferris wheel. They also took many airplane, elephant and swing rides, shot water pistols, played whack-a-mole and Olivia was also harnessed and jumped on a big trampoline showing off her dancing moves. Even Daddy got his part of the carnival treat as always: a funnel cake.
It was a fun filled summer evening.
This past Saturday, we took Olivia and Evan to the American Helicopter Museum and Education Center in West Chester, the nation’s premier aviation museum devoted exclusively to helicopters.
The Museum displays over 35 civilian and military helicopters, autogiros and convertaplanes. The exhibits span the history of rotary wing aircraft from the earliest helicopters to the latest addition to the nation's defense, the V-22 Osprey.
And you are right, I copied all this from the website :).
Olivia and Evan had a good time sitting in the seats of a number of helicopters, watching video clips, and going inside the V-22 tilt-rotor Osprey. Evan was especially interested in a model of a vertiport where the helicopters take off or land on top of a huge parking deck. The cars are parked inside the parking deck and the trains and the buses run underneath.
The museum also offers helicopter rides by appointment on certain dates throughout the year. Daddy and I think this would make a wonderful birthday gift idea.
兒子小不知害羞,每天早上在幼兒園說再見時抱著媽媽的臉親個不停. 媽媽呢則是從早到晚,逮著機會就會嘬一口:)但是也要注意數量,否則姐姐不高興. 女兒呢, 雖說在公眾場合會害羞,但是該親的時侯媽媽還是照親不務:), 在家就更是如此.
第二,第五張女兒像一隻展翅的飛鳥,好優美呀!
兒子的兩隻眼睛活泛得簡直要從片片裏跳出來啦!最喜歡第四張照片裏的兒子,骨碌碌的眼睛,抿著小嘴巴,鼓鼓囊囊的腮幫子,可愛死啦。嗯,媽媽照完照片,親了沒有?
