The Berlin Airlift Anniversary

This was the 60th Berlin Airlift Anniversary held at the Army Airfield. The base (where the activities were) was open to not only to the US folks but the Germans as well. There were so many people, they did not have enough bathrooms, food stands, and games. The German turn out was tremendous. All in all we had a terrific time.



Here is Hyland with her new favorite Aunt Renate. For you that don't know Renate and her husband Ron are very close friends of Kathy and WL. They met here in Germany before Jesus was born. Ron's a retired US Army Helicopter pilot.


Here is Stef, the kids, Renate and Ron.


It's hard to see but Riley is at the top of the red part of the slide. He had a blast on this castle.



You'll see specs in the picture. Well those specs are chocolate Hershey bars tied to mini parachutes they dropped from the helicopter. Riley and tried to grab one but there were literally thousands of kids chasing them. It was suppose to be a reenactment of the Berlin food drop.
