The Vice-Presidents Airplane "Airforce Two" visits Bozeman

Once again we were visited by a top government official by the name of Joe Biden our Vice-President. He had come to Bozeman to visit Yellowstone Park and observe the projects funded by the stimulus plan. A second plane flew in because of a mechanical and after talking to security I was able to take Kadence on board and snap a couple pictures. It is not everyday your 3 year old gets to visit a presidential plane !
I found the following explanation of  "Airforce Two" and thought it would be interesting to my vast reader audience:


In aviation any aircraft that the president boards instantly assumes the call-sign Air Force or Marine or Navy or Coast Guard or Army One depending on which branch of the military owns the aircraft he is on. When George Bush landed on the aircraft carrier and declared "Mission Accomplished" in Iraq, the plane he was on carried the designation "Navy One" because it was a Navy jet he was riding in. This carries over to the vice-president as well where the call-sign becomes "Air Force or Marine or Navy or Coast Guard or Army Two.
This is done to eliminate any confusion with air traffic control as to the importance of the flight, Airforce one and two are automatically given priority over all other flights except in cases of emergency and usually all air traffic is temporarily restricted in any area where airforce one or two are operating. -Wikipedia

Check out this clip from his visit to the park:

The tire swing

Summer has allready gone by too fast and as you can tell I havn't been spending much time updating pictures.  The other night I did capture some really cute action shots of Kadence on his tire swing that daddy made him. This is by far his favorite outdoor toy in the new yard and provides lots of laughs from him. He loves to share and is always excited when friends come over to play with him.

Fourth of July BBQ fun

\
We had a family BBQ the night before the 4th and lit off our fireworks, the little boys had so much fun and did really well with the sparklers and we will not discuss the events that happened with the big boys and fireworks. Lets just say that the carpet in the back of my pathfinder has a burn mark on it now. :(
Battle scars i guess they are called...
A certain friend has a portion of her hair burned and we have a lawn chair with a burn hole in it. Oh yes I left out the burn on Joel's hand. The rest is up to the readers imagination!
We did a quick drive to Billings on the fourth and really enjoyed the fireworks display.Thankfully we were far enough away that nothing was burned. I attempted with guidance from my sis to take a few pictures but was really disappointed in the outcome. I still didn't have my shutter slow enough or my camera still enough for it. 
It was a fun weekend celebrating America's freedom and we are so grateful for that freedom everyday !
