Air Show

 Today we went to the Air Show. We were super lucky and were able to get a pass so that we didn't have to go through the main gate and wait in the long lines. It was a lifesaver because it was hot and we had a ton of stuff because of the kids. We heard while we were there today they had 350,000 people at the show on Saturday, that is insane!
It was very hot but we were lucky to find some shade under a plane wing and relax. Quinn did not like the loud planes so we were quite a ways away from the flight line but could still see some of the planes. She didn't want to wear her ear protection at first but quickly let us put it on her.

I love these three. 








After eating our snacks Dave took Quinn through a plane and we watched some planes fly. We also all went through a big cargo plane and Quinn even got a sticker from a pilot getting out of his airplane.





She was all about Daddy today. I don't know if it was because he was gone all day yesterday or if she knew mommy wasn't really excited about all the "plane" stuff. She wanted to walk with Daddy and have Daddy take her to touch the plane. 



After a few hours both kids were passed out and it was time for the Thunderbirds to fly. We knew base would be a madhouse after their show was done so we skipped out right before they started. Dave saw it yesterday and I didn't mind missing it. 



On the way home we saw a bunch of people sitting out in a park near our house. We turned around and sure enough we were able to see almost all of the Thunderbird show right there. It was a win-win, we got to see the show and we didn't have to deal with any traffic. 



The Air Force is good, life is good.
