Air Show

This past weekend was the annual air show and Grant was so excited about it.  I think I've mentioned that he LOVES airplanes.  He was most excited about seeing the Blue Angels fly, which is the biggest attraction at Navy air shows.  Although, he loved it all.  I loved watching him look at everything, taking it all in.  He didn't like the noise so he didn't like taking off his heavy duty head phones.  We went on Friday afternoon for a little pre-air show demo that was reserved for family and friends.  The weather wasn't that great and so I didn't take any pictures of the planes in the air.  The Blues did their low show, which was great, and Grant was in heaven.  He'll be talking about it for months, I'm sure.

 "WOW, look at the Blue Angels!"

Daddy's airplane 

 Sharing his sucker.  Maybe this is why he stayed happy for a while!
We went back on Saturday for the real show and stayed a few hours.  I was surprised at how well Luke did despite being so tired.  The weather was perfect on Saturday, not a cloud in the sky.  Since Mike's Dad is a pilot, Mike grew up going to air shows and I think they are just as exciting to him now as they have always been.   I know he loved seeing the excitement in Grant's eyes this year.  I'm glad he'll have 2 little buddies to enjoy them with him for years to come.  

Taking a break to have some fun
Seeing the Blues this year was particularly neat because Mike knew several of the pilots.  One was in his old squadron and a couple of them he went trained with, at some point.
