Today was the Grand opening, dedication, and ribbon cutting of our new airport here in
STG! It was at 2:00pm so I went to the schools and checked the kids out and Daniel came home and we all headed out... along with the rest of the town! It was madness out there. I don't think that it was so much to see the airport, but that everyone heard that Pres.
Uchtdorf was giving the dedicatory prayer. Seriously. Those guys are some SERIOUS celebs down here! :) It was kinda funny because he didn't say anything else but the prayer! I thought it was as it should be, it wasn't a
religous event, it was a
municiple event and the local leaders are the ones who should do the speaking. It was cool to see him in "real life" though, but to be honest we actually went to see the airport since Daniel had done a bunch of the
electical work on the parkway to it. After today you can take off from the old airport on the hill, but you have to land at the new one.
1/22/2011 Since the airport opened it's been really quiet in the
sky above our house and downtown. We used to have planes circling around and flying over our house all the time. It's been
noticeably quieter.
This may have been Michael's first klondike, but it certainly wasn't Daniel's first rodeo! This was #5 for him. He's come a long way... now he has a door with a window so he can see out whenever he wants!
They lined the fire pit with emergency blankets to reflect the heat back at themselves. It also pre-heated the inside of the leaders cave!

Guess who doesn't like snowmen about as much as she doesn't like Santa!
