This semester in Preschool, we decided to go on a field trip every month. January, we went to the children's museum and this past month we went to a military airport to see helicopters. William's best friend, Henry, has a dad that is in the military and flies Apaches. So, he took us on the tour. We were able to sit in Black Hawks, we tried on the helmets they wear and got to see what it looked like through night vision goggles. We weren't able to sit in an Apache because the instruments are too sensitive. But, we got to see them and we also got to go to the simulator where the pilots fly in a video game type thing. The kids LOVED it. It was such a fun night and kind of something that not everyone has done. Needless to say, Matthew was bummed that he missed out.
