Arrival of a lifetime

On Tuesday, September 21st, a report of a helicopter landed at a residence, a man got out, and the helicopter left...

The real story....

Cody became friends with a pilot, he is contracted out with the Forest Service for forest fires. The contract was up and the guy, Kevin (who is a super nice man), was moving out. He had to take the helicopter out and then go back up to Cascade and get his truck and trailer. When he came out on Tuesday he was nice enough to give Cody a ride back home, in return we gave him a place to stay for the night and Cody's mom was nice enough to give both the guys a ride back up at 4:30 in the morning.

The excitement at our house went like this:

Me: Look there is a helicopter

Kids: Cool!!!

Cailey Mae: Look, it is coming back to Casey's house!

Cailey Mae: AHHHHH!!! it is coming to our house!!!

Me: IT'S DADDY!!!IT'S DADDY!!!

Kids: DADDY???????

Cayden: Where is daddy???

Me: in the helicopter!!!

Cayden: Where????

About that time we were all freaking  out a little bit because the helicopter landed literally in the backyard! We had to take cover because of the flying dust and gravel. Cailey flew under the porch swing and Cayden hid behind my legs! I was so excited! It was soooooo cool to see Cody getting out of the helicopter. The kids thought their daddy was some kind of super hero! The feeling I felt that night for the kids was unexplainable!!! They were so excited!

I hope they will remember that night forever.

That night I had phone calls from neighbors I never talk to...they though life flight was landing at our house. Cody felt like a celebrity!

And the helicopter is back off!!!
