HaLLoWeEn / MiLiTaRy PeRkS!!!!

With Mike gone for the holiday season, I was not looking forward to trick or treating in the rain. For some odd reason I decided to call the passenger terminal at McChord to see where planes were headed, to my surprise there was one heaed to Hill Air force base. With about an hour to throw clothes in a suit case, find out if my letter was signed so I could fly and get to the base I did it!!! Not knowing when the next plane would be coming back to McChord, I did not really care. I was in a mood and wanted to be around family. Mike called as I was headed to the base and was shocked when I told him what I was doing. Why not is how I looked at it. It cost me NOTHING to fly down there. I had my friends dad pick me up and take me to my mom's who did not know I was coming. When we arrived at my mom's, Judson went and knocked on the door and said, "Trick or Treat!!" She was excited to have us there but my niece was the most excited. She had to do everything she could to fight the tears back.

Judson had a great time trick or treating with his cousin Tegan. We had a great and tiring weekend. Paislee was able to meet her cousin, uncle and great grandma for the first time. It was a fast trip home since I had to come back already. I would have stayed longer but with the flights you never know when the next one will be headed back. I had to head back as well because my friend will be here next week from North Carolina. I now know that there are flights to Utah the first and third weekends of the month which I will be taking advantage of for sure. Judson also thought it was pretty cool being able to fly on a C-17. He says he is just like dad!!
