Aviation and Ice-cream

There seems to be some connection between free ice-cream sandwiches and aviation. We've been to a few events where every time you turn around, someone is offering you another. Ice-cream sandwiches are good.

This event was the annual open house at the Hillsboro Airport (HIO). Pumpkins to color, both RC model and full size planes to look at, a hook and ladder fire truck, airport ground tours, future plans for the runways, even the equipment that cuts the grass.
Audrey ended up with a backpack from The Department Of Homeland Security, that she filled with balsa gliders, candy, pencils, a colored pumpkin, and other goodies.

A fun afternoon for a spur of the moment trip out.
