Every man for himself. Corndog was at home, while Punkin was at volleyball camp in Manhattan, KS and Peanut was at gymnastics camp in Norman, OK. I packed up Corndog, and went to pick up Punkin. We stopped by Fort Riley to hike up the hill to see the cannons. I knew we would never see them with the wife, so this was our chance. We picked up Punkin and shot down to OK to see the wife and Peanut.
The first night, we saw "A-Team" in OK City while Peanut was still at camp. On thursday, we watched Peanut at camp and packed her up to go to OK City. That night we went to see a Redhawks game. Corndog is a lucky kid-the kind that comes home with five cakes from the cake-walk. They were throwing out shirts, so naturally he got one of those. Then he got a spongy ball that they threw out. At the end of the 5th inning, the center fielder was running in with the ball that he had cought for the third out. Yep, threw it to Corndog. The guys behind us were in the Air Force, but we didn't know in what capacity. This guy leans forward and said, "You are the luckiest kid I have ever met! I want to give you something that is very important to me.--It's not the most important thing, but it is very important to me." He pulls out a leather pouch from his pocket and gets the medallion out that was residing there. Gives it to Corndog and explained what it is. He is one of the pilots of the Air Force Thunderbirds. This was his personal medallion from his battallion! This guy then gets Roudy, the Redhawk's mascot to get a picture taken with Corndog. After the game the Thunderbird pilots gave us tickets to the air show they were performing at during the weekend. Wow!
The next day, we went to the Cowboy Hall of Fame...Sounds lame, right? Corndog said, "Mom, I thought this would be boring, but I find it to be quite fascinating".--He's a Goof. It was really cool. That night we saw "Karate Kid".
On saturday, we went to the air show and it was AWESOME!! We got tickets to the Thunderbird's VIP tent right next to the runway! After the show, we got the autograph of the pilot that gave us tickets.
Our house had shingles installed while we were gone. Now the electrician, plumber and HVAC guys are starting.
