air show.

today the whyte house ventured out

to the mcconnell base air show.

blogger has changed the picture loading

system, so none of these are in the

correct order.

i'm sure i could rearrange them,

but i'm entirely too tired for that. :)

i will just narrate, instead.

 the boy was not a fan of the noisy planes.  there was a lot ear covering going on.  the photo above is justin telling him it was okay to remove the 'earmuffs'..not that he heard him or anything.

 the moon bounce...crowd favorite.  they were in it like 3 minutes before some bigger kids came and ruined their precious field trip.  honestly, they weren't too upset.  aiden calls this the "monkey trampoline".  it had a king kong guy on top.

                                                    photos from a helicopter.

front of the chopper.

from the backseat of the chopper.

           
                  emily looking out the window of the refueling plane.

 their first ride in a big school bus. em was thrilled. aiden was too, just not about daddy pointing the camera at him.

 in the blackhawk with ready raccoon...if you haven't met 'ready' yet, read the blog post prior to this one.

  navy plane-- this plate below was on the side of it, too.

crazy men falling from the sky.

 snack time under the tail of the plane. it was kinda hot and the shade was awesome.  i carried the backpack from 10am-1pm and my shirt was so wet after that.

this is my favorite shot of the whole day.  the 3 of them came out so crisp...

emily and 'ready' waiting to see the planes.

 the thunderbirds.  justin wanted to see them fly at 2.  unfortunately we left before then.  however, they had to re-schedule their flight for tomorrow due to the rain.

 black and white may not have been the best for this shot...
the cars were lined up behind us and all down rock road. it took 30 minutes for us to get from pawnee and rock to the parking lot...a trip that would've normally taken a whole 3.4 seconds to drive the 3 blocks away.

i thought i was gonna have to use deadly force when they told me i couldn't take my backpack in. luckily they allow diaper bags,

and since the boy is potty training...

however, when i asked if they needed to take my pepper spray,
they said no one ever mentioned pepper spray not being allowed.
obviously they've never been sprayed with the junk.

whatever.
