August Birthdays Recap

August is our biggest birthday month, with one birthday at the very beginning and three more on the third week, each two days apart!

Dad praying a blessing prayer over John.

Trying to get John to pose normal for a picture is just like asking a fly to stop flying.😆

My family surprised me with some things the Saturday before my birthday! I had four surprise stops, and the first one was General Douglas MacArthur's museum in Little Rock!

The uniform and helmet in this picture were General Eisenhowers. The uniform was a replica but the helmet was the one he wore in combat.

It was really neat getting to see a lot of WWII things!

The second stop was by far the highlight of the day, which was......touring a submarine!!

One cool fact about this submarine was that it was one of the seven subs that landed in Japan when they surrendered. 

You had to climb a 14 ft. ladder to get down and up, which was a little tricky. ;)

It was really cool to sit at the table where they sat during WWII!

After the submarine we went to eat lunch at a buffet, and I couldn't have been more surprised than to see Doc Washburn standing there when we walked in!!

And then the fourth and final stop was to see an airplane display! Sadly, it was on the air force base and you had to be a soldier or know one to get in, so we just contented ourselves with looking at a big airplane out front!
