Retirement...no, unfortunately not mine.
The third week in January had us traveling to see Gammie & Papa for his retirement ceremony and luncheon. Thirty-five years as a civilian in the Air Force is definitely worthy of a celebration with plenty of pomp and circumstance! The ceremony was held in the Museum of Aviation adjacent to the base which is basically a hangar. Savannah and her cousin, Adler, really enjoying running around and exploring all the helicopters and planes before the ceremony started. Adler was the model 3 1/2 year old sitting quietly for 95% of the ceremony, Savannah on the other hand acted every bit her 18 months. She was not at all interested sitting and playing with the multitude of quiet toys we brought, instead she wanted to continue to run around and explore. Our choices were either force her to sit on our laps which would surely cause her to pitch a fit or quitely let her explore the area behind where everyone was seated, we chose the latter. While the guest of honor disagrees, we know it was a total distraction and we were thoroughly embarrassed.
We stayed with Gammie & Papa through the weekend and as always we had a great time despite our little angel not sleeping well, something we've come to expect anytime we go out of town. Saturday morning we visited Go Fish which is basically an educational center that promotes fishing opportunities throughout their state. We really enjoyed the the interactive games and Savannah loved the big indoor tanks.
After the Go Fish we decided to drive over to the Ag Center and realized they were having a horse show, since we had nothing better to do and thought Savannah should have her first look at horses we decided to stop in and check out the action.
