Areospace

This last week we had the privilege of going to Grand Forks ND to the University of North Dakota (UND) for their Areospace program.  There were about 60 4-H kids from around ND there.  The Areospace program is to show kids a crash course on how to fly air planes and to show them the air program that the College has.  UND has some of the best training stuff for the Whole Nation.  They have over 120 air planes for student pilots and their flight simulators are some of the best in the world.  About 1/4 of the students at UND have something to do with the Areospace program.  It was very impressive, the kids that are in the Areospace program at UND showed us around.  We were 1st priority and they did an excellent job answering questions and being our tour guides. 

 First we rode in 3 UND buses to go out to their air port

 When we got there they divided us into 3 groups each with about 20 kids

 They had 5 air planes on display for us to crawl into and check out!

 We all really enjoyed it but Paul enjoyed it the most.  He has a flight simulator that he uses on the computer here at home.  It was fun for him to see that all a little bigger and close up.

 There was always someone to show you something or to answer your questions

 After our tours we went to one of the schools 4 cafeterias for dinner

 In the afternoon we built rockets to launch.  We never got to launch them though because it was too wet outside .

   We got to see their 360 wrap around screen for their Control Tower training.  When you were in the inside of the 360 wrap around screen it felt like you were in a real live air port tower.  all the screens around you were moving and the guys in the "tower" were telling planes where to go and when to land.

                They added snow just for us since we are having such a wonderfully springy April!!

The flight simulators were really cool.  you sat in a little plastic cockpit and you have controls in front of you just like in a real air plane.  They had 3 projectors shining in front of you and it was live just like you were flying it.  It was really real like.

Stephen Miller one of our Church friends is going to school at UND and so we went out to Culvers for ice cream and them to our Motel room for a while.

Just when we thought that spring was here to stay, we got this. 

10 inches of snow in one night and it's still coming down.

Blessed be the Lord who daily loads us with benefits, The God of our Salvation!  Psalm 68:19

Calves

The calves have been coming like crazy this last week.  We were figuring out the other day that in one week we had 70 calves.  On a few days we had 14 and 12 calves a day.  We have been blessed with all these little babies and they are all doing pretty good.

 They are so cute and curious

 They are growing so fast

The Clouds this last Friday were so pretty.  One of my favorite things to do is just watch the clouds when there's a storm moving in.  We did get over 1/2 inch from these clouds.

And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.  God is love.  whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. 1 John 4:16

1 Thessalonians 5:18

Here are a few random pictures for this weekend.  Have a good one!

In every thing give thanks: For this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.  1 Thessalonians 5:18



Spring

I think spring is finally here to stay. We have been really busy with calving the last few weeks. We have had as many as 12 calves in one day. It is kind of hard to keep everything on dry ground with the water running so much. We have like a river running through our South pasture and our lake is getting pretty large. The best part of all that is going on around here is that you can see God in everything. Every were you look you can see how much God loves us. He shows us in all the new life that He cares so much. I am in awe at what God can and will do. Everything is growing so quickly and before we know it, it will be summer.























You can know and depend on the love that I have for you.
