What to do this weekend now that the weather has changed from in the 100s to in the 80s over night....
The Blue Angels are in town!!
Standing in line to be bag-checked and metal-detected.
There were at least 50 planes on the ground for visiting. Canyon stands under one with it's wheel coming half way up his back. The line to walk through this one was very long though so we took a pass on it.
I don't know what this is exactly, but it was cool looking.
Canyon has a turn in the cock-pit of the Coast Guard helicopter.
This plane (The Brat III) was silver and looked like a mirror.
Of course Canyon found a firetruck!
The Blue Angles.
We got to the Air Force Base 1 1/2 hours before the show started. There were pre-shows going on in the sky and on the ground.
I was lucky to snap this picture right when these two crossed paths. One right-side up and one up-side down.
Canyon was not a super fan of the loud noises of the engines. Other kids wore headphones and they had earplugs for sale for $1. But I didn't think Canyon would want to put them in his ears. So he or Sahara held his ears just about every time a plane went by.
The tricks were really neat to see. I'm so glad we didn't make the news with a plane crash though. That was my biggest fear.
We didn't get to tour this big plane either, but Sahara wanted a picture of it. She said it looked like a ginormous shark.
We had a good time and it was a very long day (we left at 11:30 and got home at 7). And even though the temperatures were perfect today, 2 hours sitting in the sun watching the show and I ended up a tad bit burnt!
