Air Show!

On Saturday the Air Force put on an air show and the kids and I decided to go check it out. I think this picture says it all. Do you think these boys were having fun??? They had several planes on static display that the boys got to go inside and they even got to climb around on top of a tank. And they had all sorts of planes doing flying stunts all afternoon. They even had some parachuters. At first the boys were pretty upset that somebody jumped out of a plane. Especially Kade. He couldn't understand why anyone would jump. But after he saw them land and knew that they were okay he asked me if he could jump out of a plane too. Obviously I told him no but he reassured himself by telling me that he would wait until he was bigger and then he would try. Oh, my little fearless Kade...what am I going to do with you.

If I'm not mistaken this is a picture of a p51 mustang and the bigger plane is the same type of plane that was used in the Doolittle raid. It was really cool watching the show that these two little planes put on. At the end of the show the US Thunderbirds arrived. This picture doesn't do them justice. They are amazing. The Thunderbird team flies all over the nation putting on air shows. Mountain Home tries to host a thunderbird show every other year. So in 2010 I hope you all will come visit and join us for the air show...
