Just another Saturday

Easter Egg Hunt & Tower Visit

Shelby had to work so, against my better judgement, I took Colin to the base Easter egg hunt. I knew it would be packed and there would be plenty of obnoxious parents who don't want to follow the rules and end up setting horrible examples for everyone's kids. It was packed but it started at 11, we arrived promptly at 10:55, made our way to the 0-2 year old section and didn't have to wait at all since they opened the gate right as we walked up. Unlike most of the idiot parents there, I took Colin to the far end of the area instead of stopping at the first egg on the ground right in front of the gate with a herd of people trying to squeeze in. We managed to get 4 eggs before they were all snatched up and Colin was super excited about them. Mission accomplished. Once the eggs were gone in his age group area we went right back to the car and got the heck out of there. I parked at 10:55 and was back in the car by 11:15, we got in, hunted eggs and we were out....toooooo many people and it was muddy from all the rain we've had.

After the egg hunt we went and got McDonald's for lunch and went up to the tower to visit Shelby. Colin is SUPER into airplanes right now in case you forget. Before we even drove across the runway to get to the tower he spotted them parked on the ramp and started going nuts. When we parked at the tower there was a KC-135 that was running their engine pretty close to the runway and he about went out of his mind. He was so excited. He was hilarious in the tower running around and looking out the windows and shouting "airplane" over and over again. He had one of the phones in his hand chattering away on it and pointing to the planes. Future controller perhaps. He had a ball and slept good when we got home.
