Oh my goodness....
Michael was staggering around he didn't even know what to do with himself.
Face to face with REAL. LIVE. HELICOPTERS!!!
He even got to sit in one
(we asked him if he wanted to get down after several minutes of being there and said, "No." Matter of factly. We eventually took him down because other kids wanted a turn.
He also got to sit in the cockpit of a jet.
And we saw parachuters coming down from the sky....
And more helicopters.....
And Michael like to fly his jets in unison with the real ones.
But then the "big guns" came out so to speak and the air show got a little bit sonic.
Let's put it this way. I was watching the runway and saw a jet streaking across (not that far from us!) and was in awe at how fast it was moving, and that it was so incredibly silent! "Hmm...I thought to myself. I wonder if that's what stealth is."
Um. No.
It's just that the sound took a few seconds to catch up.
And the boys were a little scared. Or a lot scared. :(
So we left after the air show was bombarded with more jets, bombs, explosions and the like (so cool...maybe we'll ditch the kids next year and go on our own!)
But Michael is still talking about it to this day. "Helicopters! Jets! They were loud. Don't be scared."
I love having boys.

Way too cool!!!!!!
Looks like it was a great time for all. The pictures are wonderful, especially the ones with Michael and Daddy, where did Mommy and Matthew go, oh yes they were taking the pictures.
Love to all
Oh, this looks like SO much fun! It's so cool that Michael got to sit in a real helicopter and jet. We've been to some airshows/museums that are of the "you can look, but don't touch" variety, which isn't nearly as fun :).
It's so neat to see that tough military guy lifting little Michael into the seat!! We'll have to make sure the Campbell and Barber boys do this together some time!
Oh my gosh, this is SO cute! It's so cute how Michael has the little airplane in his hand!
