SO, as you all know I live on an army post and interesting things happen. This one was very interesting. I was on my way out the door for a social event, girls in the house with a sitter. The event was close enough to walk so I did. As I was leaving my house I heard a helicopter and it sounded very low. Next thing I knew it was coming over the single soldier housing low enough for them to jump out and land on it. They buzzed the palm trees (it was a vietnam, rice patty low....you know when they are half hangin out of the copter!?)...so that freaked me out JUST a bit....I waved to the guys on the side and thought to myself....DUDE..that is really low and I wonder if you are supposed to be doing THAT.?
WELL.....it got even better.....I see them go over a house and it sounds like it is going DOWN....I am thinking about the crash that killed two pilots on the airfield last year and FREAK OUT....I run through my front door and notice out the window that they are LANDING...so I grab my camera (FOR PROOF......photojournalist in me).....and I run out the backdoor barking orders to the girls NOT to come outside. I get out the back door and make eye contact again with the guys in the copter as they are lifting back off. MY photos on facebook somehow got the the command group and these guys were in so much trouble....IT is a residential area, NOT SECURE, children are all over the place, things are NO tied down and the wind this things generates IS POWERFUL...guess they turned over trampolines, canopies and much more in a few other neighborhoods...SO this PHOTO made sure they had to answer to those issues!.....COOL photos tho....RIGHT?
ON to the FUN....The girls participated in this event called PLAY60. It is geared to get kids out for 60 minutes and play. SO many kids need to use energy and the NFL sponsors this with kids. There were 100 kids playing football and 75 learning cheers. It was so much fun. The girls learned a dance routine used at the PROBOWL later that week.They all got water bottles and tshirts and got an autograph session. IT was even fun for the freaky grown ups with their memorbilia to sign...looked like BIG kids drooling over football players.
The mascots even showed up and I was REALLY happy to see Stanley DA Bear!.....I took some photos and sent them to some friends in Texas....YES there are BEARS fans in Texas!....
We later got a sneak preview of the players and cheerleader who didn't attend our specific event...it was SO FUN. We rode the bus to Aloha Stadium, watched cheerleaders dance, football players practice and the MASCOTS having some serious fun!...
Thought THIS outfit was very interesting. She said it was a special outfit to support Breast Cancer awareness. IT IS HOT PINK for sure!
SAD to say,.....THIS girl looked amazing, but when she OPENED her mouth...it was worse than FRan Dresher.....It was a BABY TALK that made me want to scream USE YOUR BIG GIRL VOICE....just smile, dance and look pretty..NO more interviews PLEASE...makes Texas look LAME.
