Rock Springs Airport tour with Girl Scouts

I have taken the Girl Scouts to a lot of interesting places in the past two years, but I think the airport was one of my favorites. It's such a small airport that everyone from the pilots, to the firefighters, to the manager were more than willing to show us everything and let the girls really explore. They took us to the hanger where they keep the small airplanes/helicopters. Sophie hated it there because it was so windy and the walls were shaking a bit. The hanger was built before the 1920's-even Amelia Earhart had visited it, they showed us a picture of her under that same hanger. The girls watched the FedEx guys load the airplane-I think they were excited to tell someone about what they do. They took us to see the giant size fire trucks they use to put out airplane fires. And they were encouraging the girls to climb right up-I was a little worried someone might get hurt up there, but they loved it! I'm standing on top of one fire truck taking Maddie's picture on top of the other-

Sophie really wanted to climb where the girls were climbing but always realized once she got up there that it was a bit to scary for her-
