Air show Adventures

In late February, the airport close to us did an air show everyday for a week. We live so close that we had prime seats, just out in the backyard. The noise mostly scared the kids, but they were also fascinated by all of the amazing twists and turns the planes did, so they would watch while covering their ears. Some of their moves were pretty unbelievable. Crazy enough that I would find myself backing up with the kids into the "safety" of our house when it looked like they were spiraling out of control, down to the ground :)

That same weekend, we went to the beach to watch the Red Bull airshow they were having right out on the water. We arrived nice and early, so the kids could play at the beach with their friends. 

Unfortunately, due to A.D. standard time, the show didn't start until 4 hours later than they had originally announced ... I think they all look pretty happy for people who have waited that long!

Hailey opted to do some of her waiting by going to sleep.

At last, the planes started flying through the inflateables.

It was pretty cool, but after watching a few planes, we decided we were done and would rather go get something to eat. Hooray for unexpected changes to plans! (that is the attitude we are trying to cultivate in our children and ourselves, since this isn't the first time something like this has happened :)
