Black Hawk
Police cars + Fire trucks + Black Hawk = Three very happy boys! Asher joined his buds, Chase and Carter, and went to a local school to check out a Black Hawk. And, to our surprise they also brought in policemen and firefighters. The Black Hawk was pretty epic. It circled over the school and then landed in an open field right by us. The kids were freaking out! Then they just let the kids roam wherever their little hearts led them. It was pretty unbelievable. But, I guess if anything is built strong enough to handle rambunctious little hands, it’s a Black Hawk.
The school was also having a race for…something. Shoot. I should have asked about that. But all the kids had numbers and they were keeping track of their laps. Of course as soon as Asher saw the running he wanted to be a part of it. I stood on the sidelines for awhile watching the flow of things and realized it was a pretty loose competition, so I freed Asher and he took off like the wind! I have to say it (because I want him to read this one day), I was so proud of him. I just stood there with tears in my eyes. There he was, running in his long-sleeved, flannel shirt, jeans, and his semi-dress shoes, and so happy to be running. He went around one time and I thought that was about all he could handle because it was really far, but he said he wanted to go again. So he went again. And then he went a third time. Again, I just stood there with tears. I got all sentimental and kept thinking about what a fighter he is. I prayed that he will always be able to run, because it truly is his favorite thing to do.
I found out afterwards that he ran 900 yards. That’s 9 FOOTBALL FIELDS!!! I’m pretty sure CF lost that battle!
