We got to the air show around 9:30 a.m. Much to Lucas' delight, we had to take a school bus from the parking lot to the air strip.
It was a gorgeous day - sunny and 75. Enough to need sunblock, but not hot enough that I wanted to die.
I'd never been to an airshow before, and boy was I missing out. There were TONS of cool things to see... All types of planes, helicopters, boats, fire engines, etc were all over the air strip. You could even get on/in them all and Tony liked to ask people a bazillion questions about each one :)
We got to watch some fighter jets to some demo flights... Even the new F-22 Raptor. I'd never seen a fighter jet do anything, and MAN are they completely awe inspiring. Fast, loud, and so maneuverable. We took some video, but I'm having the worst time getting videos up on this site :( Lucas spent most of the time watching the jets with his hands over his ears and me holding him. Lottie enjoyed her very first lollipop right about now, as she wasn't really feeling it either.
After a snack break, Lucas begged us to buy him tickets to the moonbounce. He actually did go in all by himself with a bunch of strangers - most of which were older kids. We were impressed!
Then there were some helicopter flight shows and parachuters jumping out of planes.
We were hoping to stay until 3 when the Blue Angels were going to fly over, but the kids weren't gonna make it that long. So around 1, we headed back to the car.
After naps and baths, we headed to Mommom and Pops for dinner. They were heading out to NY for 2 weeks and we wanted to see them one last time.
Sunday morning, just the 4 of us, we tried out a new (and free!) boat ramp, and took the boat out for it's maiden voyage of 2010. We cruised a little bit, stopped by a friend's house, and had a bite to eat. The kids did pretty well. Charlotte was not too happy about her lifevest, but the way she's getting teeth, I don't think she'd have been happy about anything that day...
After boating snacks!
