Today was the AAA Chili Cook Off at Fort Rucker. Ed volunteered to be a cook at it and the boys and I stopped by for a bit. They should have called it something else because it was cooler than just a chili cook off. They had a bunch of helicopters parked there, 3 bounce houses for the kids and some random games that were pretty cute too...oh yeah and chili! We didn't stay for too long because I needed to go to Dothan before the kids got too worn out. All three of my boys had fun today.

Edward looks so proud sitting there next to Max. Oh, by the way, Ed's unit's theme was the beach. That should explain the Hawaiian shirt and lei.

I like this picture of the boys on the ramp.

ATTACK! (That's an Army thing. They're running towards a Kiowa which is an attack/scout helicopter. Ed makes fun of Kiowas and Apaches by yelling, "Attack".

One of the three bounce houses. Max was ahead of Nolen all day. You'd never know he was the younger brother! Max climbed to the top and was supposed to slide down the other side but he wouldn't go and he climbed back down.
