Operation Christmas Child Shoebox Pick Up

This morning I took Logan down to the elementary school to see the Operation Christmas Child shoe box pick up. It was really neat! Three ambulances and a couple police cars all came driving up onto the field with their lights and sirens going and then the main attraction, both Stars and Hawks helicopters came and landed on the school field.

We watched the helicopters arrive from the alley between the two campuses, which worked out really well because both helicopters flew RIGHT above us!

Then we walked over and got a closer look. The kids got to take pictures with both choppers and the ambulances.










The pilot from the Hawks Helicopted let Logan climb up and sit inside. The pilot loved Logan's jacket and asked if we had a future pilot on our hands!




It was total mayham down there though! There were kids running EVERYWHERE! I had to watch Logan like a hawk - otherwise he'd be gone in a second! He loved it! He loved chasing all the kids and cried all the way home "No! Lolo go to gool!" (Gool = School).

Nothing like boys and ambulances and helicopters. At least you get to have tea parties with Katie one day...it's diggers and trucks all the way with me!!
