We missed the air show last year for the first time since we started going... we just didn't want to take Mya when she was so little. We all missed it... so this year we decided we were going no matter what! We even missed a few things around here. It was worth it. 2 year ago was the 60th anniversary of the Air Force and EVERYBODY decided to go to the airshow... there were 30,000 people there and we had to stand in line for about 3 hours to get on a bus to get off base. Another reason why we didn't go last year. There were a lot of people again this year... but we took off to get in line 3/4 of the way through the Thunderbirds show and were able to get in line and only wait about 30 minutes.
Michael and Haleigh with Thunderbird # 5. He flys inverted, that's why his #5 is upside down.
This is the civilian Patriot Jet team. They are pretty much awesome. The video in this post is of them.
This is the C-17. Imagine a WHALE flying. It's incredible! Daniel's cousin Brian flys these and his other cousin (Brian's little brother) Justin is the load master. We got to see both of their jobs in action. Pretty cool guys!
And of course the mighty Thunderbirds
Ooooo.... Ahhhhh!
Watching the airshow gives us a great sence of patriotism. Thanks to all of our friends and family who serve our country and protect our freedom! Thanks, Gretchen, Greg, Mike, Susan, Kevin, Brian, & Justin!
My parents came down for Thanksgiving! Third trip in as many months. It's been nice to see them so much. We cooked all day on Thurday and then ate. Then the girls and I got up and headed to wal-mart for black friday. It was CRAZIER than EVER before. I've always walked into wal-mart got what I wanted and been out in 15 minutes max. I new it was going to be a different story when we couldn't park in the parking lot. Anyway, we shopped til we dropped. Then I came home and made my new nephew-in-law a birthday cake. Jen and Jimmy had a little party for him at their house Friday evening. Saturday was filled with more shopping with mom, crafts with Julie, Taco's, and Krave (frozen yogurt place downtown). The guys went to Kannarville to hunt coyotes... or at least they would have hunted them if they saw any.
