Go Air Force!

A few weeks ago, we went up to West Point to watch Air Force play Army...well, to watch Air Force BEAT Army (Army actually played better, but Air Force came up with the win...Go FALCONS!) =) We were sitting right by the cheerleaders, so McKenna was entertained the whole time by that (okay, McKenna and I ) =). It was SUCH a gorgeous day for a football game...60 degrees and sunny, and the leaves that surrounded us were at their peak. Perfect.
After the game, we drove around a little. We had seen pictures, of course, but nothing can really prepare you for the castle-like buildings and the serene views (although I'm sure there's nothing serene about it for the cadets) =). It was all pretty amazing. We would like to go back sometime for an actual tour, but on a day when we hadn't already sat through an entire football game with the kids =).
The only bad part about the day was that our oldest (as in known the longest, not age =) ) Air Force friends (Chris and Mary Jenny) were supposed to meet us there, but couldn't make it. We sure missed being able to spend time catching up with them, but overall, it was a wonderful day to spend together as a family.

Thought you'd like to see a few pics:
