Eventful Day

Well, it started out simply enough.  Going to Lowe's for not a huge reason.  Dusty happened to go to Jackson, not Milan, for some reason.  We pulled up and saw a crane with a huge American flag in the parking lot.  Strange.  Then we went in the garden section and were looking around.  We heard a helicopter, so the kids got so excited, and wanted to see it.  It landed in the Lowe's parking lot.  Weird!  Over the loud speaker we had heard them announce something was landing in one minute, if you wanted to see it. So we went to see it.  Apparently it was Safety Saturday, a day when they try to educate children about safety.  They showed a rescue helicopter,

fire truck,

ambulance,

police car.  The kids were so excited. :)

This evening we roasted marshmallows and hot dogs over the grill/fire pit using sunflower stalks, then corn, and some old wood.  It was brilliant, and mainly because Dusty thought it up and comes up with amazing ideas to entertain and educate our children.  And me.  They loved it.

And he loves her.

And hot dogs.

It's ok.  She loves him too.  She was afraid of the fire, and asked Seth to hold touch her to comfort her.  He did.  She loved it.

They kept getting shocked and he thought it was HILARIOUS.

She did too.  All in all, a great day.  I love unexpected greatness.  Like this:
