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.
儿子小不知害羞,每天早上在幼儿园说再见时抱着妈妈的脸亲个不停. 妈妈呢则是从早到晚,逮着机会就会嘬一口:)但是也要注意数量,否则姐姐不高兴. 女儿呢, 虽说在公众场合会害羞,但是该亲的时侯妈妈还是照亲不务:), 在家就更是如此.
第二,第五张女儿像一只展翅的飞鸟,好优美呀!
儿子的两只眼睛活泛得简直要从片片里跳出来啦!最喜欢第四张照片里的儿子,骨碌碌的眼睛,抿着小嘴巴,鼓鼓囊囊的腮帮子,可爱死啦。嗯,妈妈照完照片,亲了没有?
