Helicopter!

Two things:

1. Above you see the start of something Sarah Hub talked about on her blog like a million months ago. Iain and Callie, at the park, took off at a semi-run (because Iain was in the lead and he doesn't so much run as toddle-really-really-fast). We called after them, but they just stumped along faster and faster. All I could think was Sarah saying that one day your child runs away from you. On purpose. And you're proud, but...

2. They ran toward Central Baptist Hospital's parking garage (visible, barely, in the distance). Why? Because as we walked along the bottom edge of the Arboretum (yes, this space with zero trees is an arboretum, but that's another story), a helicopter passed over us, slowed, and began a careful descent onto the hospital's helipad. Iain thought he was witnessing the rebirth of humanity, for sure. He was so, so excited. An actual helicopter, actually flying, actually landing, with actual people actually getting off of it. ZOMG. In fact, XOMG.
