A very cool opportunity....

Yesterday the management teams from several departments at the hospital where I work met at our director's house for an annual meeting. This year we had a very special surprise. A local company that does medical transports brought one of their helicopters out for us to explore and learn more about their services. When our director informed us they were coming our first thought was "yeah right but not in the helicopter, where would it possibly land?" Well lo and behold soon the fire department showed up and used their fire engine to block her street and here came the helicopter landing right at the end of the cul de sac. It was so cool for all of us to be standing out in the yard to watch it's descent. We were like a bunch of school kids just oohing and ahhing.

Here is comes now. The ironic thing was the circle that was already located on the road. We think they used it as a target.

Can you believe they actually landed right in the neighborhood? I am sure some of the neighbors were very curious.
As soon as they opened the doors we were all exploring. This is where the patient would be as well as 2 EMT's during flight.

As soon as they offered for someone to climb in I was all over that!!
Too bad they wouldn't let me sit in front. I really wanted to push some of those buttons.
Keysla and I were all smiles at this unique opportunity. She however had not desire to climb aboard.
Our whole group posing with the flight crew.
And who do you think had to be wearing a bright pink sweater and be front and center?? Oh well, it's definitely not hard to pick me out of the crowd.

Unfortunately we didn't get to actually take rides (can you imagine how long that would have taken with all of us); however, they did offer for us to come to headquarters some time and take a ride. Something I will definitely be checking out!!

What a cool way to spend an afternoon!!!!!!
