Hill Air Force Museum..

Took the kids to the Air Force Museum up in Roy with my good friend Leslee.. It was on our list of things to do this summer... I had never been there, Troy and Stockton were at boys camp, seemed like the perfect opportunity.. :) It was very fun and very educational. The kids all had a blast. Some of our favorites things we saw there.. :)

They were amazed at how big the opening was..
