Meg in her happy place!
Meg and I had a good laugh when we saw this little pile of tater tots in our local commissary. We don't know how they got there but we thought it was funny.
On our summer vacation Meg got to meet her pen-pal "Grandma Caroline." These two are best buddies and have a lot in common. Her family treated us to dinner and what fun we had! Grandma Caroline is 94 and doesn't look a day of it! We love her stories and learn so much from her! So thankful these two got to meet in person!
Owen has always wanted to go the "Show of Shows" a military show in Louisville, KY. We didn't know what we were in for but we truly enjoyed it! What an experience. This guy is the grandson from one of the characters in the series Band of Brothers. Owen loved meeting him!
This guy runs a military historical youtube channel Owen watches. He thought it was super cool to meet the guy in person.
Pappy and Mimi were troopers and joined us on this adventure!
Our favorite part of the show was meeting the veterans.
George Merz landed on the beaches of Normandy.
James "Pee Wee" Martin served with the 101st Airborne Division and jumped into Holland in the leading wave of "Operation Market Garden." He was given the nickname "Pee Wee" due to being the lightest man in the regiment.
Don J. Jenkins was awarded the Medal of Honor from President Richard Nixon .
Frank Emond is 103 years old!! and is a Pearl Harbor survivor. Owen was so honored to get their autographs and meet them in person.
We learned so much and are glad Owen took us on this adventure.
