After a false alarm of an early return and then a few delays, we finally got "the call" that Daddy was coming home. We got ready and headed down to the base only to be told "there's been a delay." We had some bad storms yesterday so the plane couldn't land and they were just circling overhead -- torture! Then there was word that they might have to leave and go land somewhere else to get more fuel, in which case they might have to delay another day to come home! Luckily, there was a break in the storms and they made their approach and landed the plane. We got pretty wet standing outside for the fly-in, but we didn't care. It was so exciting standing there as the engines shut down. We had to wear earplugs to help drown out the engine noise and luckily I liked wearing them. Mom took a picture of that too. Daddy was flying the plane and he opened his front window and waved to me while they were getting ready to come out. I yelled Hi Daddy! I want to give you a BIG HUG!!! Of course, he was the last person to come off, but it was worth the wait. I went running to him and gave him a great big hug! Mom's favorite picture is the one of us running to each other. Harrison even acted happy to see him! To end the afternoon, as we were getting in the car to come home there was a big rainbow! Can you get a more perfect day than that?
