Air Show

Yesterday we went to the Air Show at the Scott Air Force Base. It was so cool!! We got there at the perfect time, no traffic, great seats, before the massive crowds, etc. It was really cloudy which made it nice for us, but it delayed the show for quite a while and made them change their schedules based on what the different airplanes needed to fly. But we got to see a lot of neat things, and the kids loved it! It was a great patriotic event as they talked about 9/11 and did a "tora! tora! tora!" show thing from Pearl Harbor, the first terrorist attack our country experienced. I felt very proud to be an American, and felt so much gratitude and pride in those that have served our great country. We saw the Golden Knights, those guys that drop out of the airplanes and parachute down. We didn't stay long enough to see the Blue Angels because the kids had had enough and we didn't want to push the limit. But we left at a great time too. So overall it was a great day and we're glad we went!


Tyler loved sitting in this little plane and pretending to fly. He's been pretending to be a pilot a lot since we got home.

looks like you had fun! poor brynlee and her boot! i hope she gets it off soon!

the moby is great. i have 2 friends that use it. i've never heard of a baby dying in one. i read about slings and read many stories about babies heads falling to their chest and it cuts off their air supply. the moby supports their head more. carly has one, too!
