Pizza party, $900M Golf ball

Today Amanda's class and several of the parents planned a Halloween Pizza party for lunch. Lynn volunteered to assist in the activities center as long as Jake could come along (which wasn't a problem) he fits right in with all the kids. The kids were so excited to have pizza for lunch in their rooms.
After they all finished their pizza they had little Halloween stations set up for the kids to take little treat bags with some cool stuff.

When I took Amanda to school this morning before class we got to see (yet another time) the $900M dollar golf ball heading out to sea.
Sea-Based X-Band Radar is a floating, self-propelled, mobile radar station designed to operate in high winds and heavy seas. It is part of the United States Government's Ballistic Missile Defense System.
Sea-Based X-band Radar stands 280 feet tall & 380 feet long tall and has a crew of 75 individuals. SBX is powerful enough to spot a flying baseball in San Francisco from New York, and more importantly, to tell the difference between a real missile heading for America and a decoy.
