Wedding (real) and War (pretend)
This past weekend was Ethan’s big sister Jen’s wedding. Here’s a photo 
of Ethan all dressed up in a tux for the occasion (isn’t he so cute!). Ethan was supposed to carry the rings, but at the last minute, when he looked at the 150 people who would be staring at him as he walked down the isle, he bagged. He was also running a fever, the poor guy. The wedding was great, and we couldn’t be happier for Jen and her new husband Tim. They’re honeymooning in Disney World, hopefully getting better weather than we are right now.
On Sunday, we went to see a WWII re-enactment at the Collings Foundation in Stow MA. The place is fascinating, since no one knows about it (they purposely keep a very low profile), and they only open their doors to the public twice a year, once on father’s day, and this past weekend. The re-enactment
was very, very cool. There was a blue and yellow bi-plane (one of Ethan’s first words in English, by the way) that buzzed the spectators, a German plane (see photo) that took off, and a bunch of guys dressed up in authentic costumes and real guns running around with real guns shooting off fake bullets and pretending to be dead.
It was weird being around the guys dressed in the German uniforms, especially as they were telling us to move back behind the line (decades of movies depicting them as evil has it’s effects after all). When all the Germans were dead (one of them complained to me ahead of time about this), we went to see the collection of planes inside. There was a red tri-plane (very cool), a lot of racecars (which Ethan and Mark thought were cooler than I did), a canvas plane, and a plane that could fold up its wings to fit on an aircraft carrier.
After we do things, Ethan likes us all to compare notes on what we liked best (and the rule is you can’t choose the same thing as someone else, so if his favorite animal is the bison, then yours has to be something else like the lion). After the air show, Ethan chose three things he liked best: the soldiers running around shooting at each other, the race cars, and the tri-plane.
