Air Show

We were part of the thousands that tried to get to the air show this weekend.  We sat in traffic for almost an hour before we gave up and pulled over.  After a short walk, we found a good spot to sit and watch the air show from afar.  The first part of the air show wasn't very interesting to the boys.  Even though the planes were flying right over us.  I thought it was pretty cool, but I could see where the boys were a little bored.  It was a little slow at times.  They managed to pass the time by playing in the dirt.  :)

  Right before the Blue Angels started Jackson declared that he had to go to the bathroom and he could not wait.  So, we started walking back to the car.  We were still able to catch most of the air show as we headed back to the car.  Jackson thought it was too loud!
  Scott and I kept an eye on where the planes were at all times so we could tell the boys when one was getting close, so they could cover their ears.  As we got closer to the car, we thought we were too far from the air show, so we stopped paying as much attention.  We were walking right behind a movie theater so we couldn't see to the right of us.  All of  sudden one of the planes flew over right in front of us, scaring all of us!  The boys were terrified!  There were lots of screams and tears.  The plane was SO loud, and it all happened so fast!  I couldn't help but laugh at the situation.  It took a few minutes, but the boys finally got over being scared.  Dylan was talking about how the Blue Angels are the best pilots in the world all afternoon, so he must not have been too scared, thankfully.  :)


 Dylan really liked this formation because they were far away (not as loud!) and they looked like bowling pins!
