Candy Bomber

 So the kids at our school were able to have a very cool experience today! We had Colonel Gail Halverson, the word renowned candy bomber come to our school and do a candy drop!
 Colonel Halverson will be 95 this year and there is a good chance this could be one of his last candy drops. We weren't even sure that it was going to happen due to his declining health, but they came through at the last minute.
 The FAA, wouldn't let them drop the candy at 500 feet, so they had to be at 1,000. So when they dropped the candy, most of it went into the neighborhoods around the school. But the kids each got a candy bar with a commemorative parachute attached.
 Colonel Halverson was the keynote speaker at a September 11th event at the local veterans home here in Ivins. JD and I went and listened to him speak. He was so funny. He's an amazing Utah boy, with an amazing story. It was such a neat day!
The ladies and I had a great day with our preschoolers, but we can't post any of those pictures! I love these gals, they make working so much fun!
