Talk about a long couple weeks. Dang. I'm feeling it.  Just another month in the life of a fire wife. Lol. But quick mani update, these things are going on 2 weeks and they still look perfect! No cracks, chips, lifting, etc. 🀯 I am blown away!
Mountain Farm Life update: What a week of ups and downs. 

It is with heavy hearts that we share that we had to say goodbye to our sweet 12.5 year old husky this week. Her spirit is running free now with her sister and Papa. 

Chick check: After all was said and done we have a current total of 19 chicks in the brooder. 🀞🏻 We have plans for an amazing coop to be built soon too! #chickenfarmhousecomingsoon 

Stay tuned for ducks and silkies. We are so excited! And discussions are underway for a chicken tractor mod too! πŸ™ƒ  #lawnmowerscomingsoon 

Finally, some more exciting news...with all the fun and shenanigans we get into up here with the farm and the gardening and the homeschooling and so on...we are working on creating a separate page JUST for that stuff so you can follow along on all the fun. Names are being brainstormed, so if you've got ideas, send them our way!😘

Never forget the heroes that day and the heroes that have come from that day. God Bless America.

There was so much to take in that I couldn't even get pictures of it all. Read more below...

As is tradition, the parachute team brought in the flag and the flags of all the branches. But seriously, who wants to jump out of a perfectly good aircraft?!πŸ˜³πŸ˜… They hit their mark and so it began. 

That heritage flight you see with 2 older and 2 newer planes.... incredible. We're talking GOOOOOSEBUMPS y'all. And those two newer fighter jets.... yeah, those are piloted by some badass women. Did you know 9Gs is about 25 times the force of gravity....and they habdle it like it's a cup of coffee.😳 (And I thought labor was hardπŸ˜…). 

That demo team painting all those colors in the sky, that was the Patriot Demo Team (whose hashtag I'm gonna have to find and come back to). They were one of the kid's fave! Really cool maneuvers that I'm so glad are continuing on with tradition so my kids can see the same things I grew up loving.😍

That parade of heavies, without those birds, the rest wouldn't be possible. Also, they were another kid's fave. They were HUUUUUUGE!🀣

What didn't I get because we were so caught up in it all? πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

How about a guy who literally drops pieces of his plane to the ground while flying? Or an amazing female biplane pilot (yes my kids were in Amelia Earhart spirits all evening🀩). Or what about a jelly belly plane that lands on jelly belly truck. LANDS ON A TRUCK. Come on?! And then took off from it too!🀯

One should note that the B52 was MIA (I might be the only person sad about that though) and one of the kids was really hoping for some helos to fly and some fire plane water demos....but they got to see some of those up close instead. Plus all kinds of law enforcement rigs & tons of new and old planes.

Let's not forget that there was a lot of food and beverage options (Dip'n'dots was delish!), vendors with toys, shirts, posters, stickers, etc. 

If you plan to go, take a wagon, good walking shoes, BUG SPRAY WITH AT LEAST 20%DEET (they really should have warned us about the horrible biting bugs "black valley gnats"...we are covered in bites), sunscreen, and your own shade umbrellas.

It was said that our house looks like a Hallmark movie right now...a cute little horse trailer, Christmas lights still up (they stay up because why not), hummingbirds everywhere, put in the woods a little bit....πŸ€” I mean, it's not incorrect. 🀣

But seriously, how adorable is that trailer?! I cannot wait to get going on that project! My #mobilenailbar #workhorse #haulitall little trailer is gonna be so darn cute when we are done! πŸ’“

Have you ever seen a horse trailer revamped into a cute business?? Tell me everything!
