Yesterday we headed over to Illinois Wesleyan with Melissa, Katie and the kids for one of their Homecoming festivities. A Blackhawk helicopter landed on the football practice field, staying to give the kids an opportunity to actually get inside. We had front row for the landing - which isn't necessarily a good thing. The blades can kick up to 100 mile an hour winds and we happened to be standing by some mulch. A little dust and flying sticks aside, it was incredible!

the helicopter landed!
Eoin thoroughly enjoyed the helicopter and climbing inside; he walked all the way around it with Jordan looking and touching. He seemed in awe! As we were leaving he spotted 2 police cars though and was much more enthralled by something he could see any day of the week, especially since our neighbor is a police officer! The officer was kind enough to put the lights on for Eoin and I think that is what really made his day!
