Jer's mom was on the other end wondering if we wanted to go to the air show! Why, yes, of course we would like to go! The reason we hadn't planned on it was due to financial restraints... we can't have everything we want after all and unfortunately food for dinner is highly recommended on the priority list!
So we got ready and headed out, parking near the universities satellite campus and taking the shuttle into the airport. The kids were kinda of grumpy about waiting in line for the shuttle, which concerned me about the rest of the day.... If they were already grumpy, what might that indicate?
They had their moments of grumpiness, namely when I told them they couldn't go into the bounce houses because the dude insisted on cash... sorry dude, but when I only had an hour from the time I found out were were going to the time I got here, that means no cash for YOU!
Then of course there were the stunts and other performances!
Then there was the Mustang and MAN was the plane maneuverable! The guy would tumble and turn and it looked like it reacted on the drop of a dime. So cool, if I became a pilot... that would be a plane I would want to fly!
How do I express how glad I am that we have men and women that are willing and able to do all that they do to help me and my family to feel safer? God bless them.

Oh, we wanted to go to this so badly! I can't believe the food lines were an hour long. Ridiculous. I know I would have been grumpy about that, and about the heat. I'm not very tolerant of things lately... By a crazy coincidence, I had to drive my folks to the airport today, right when everyone was getting there. It was sooo hectic. An airforce guy was checking with people heading to the airport to make sure they were actually catching a plane. He was so handsome in his uniform that I actually blushed.
We went today and it was a blast, although Allie got dehydrated and puked up all the water we made her drink. But the nice people at the EIRMC tent brought her in and took care of her, then we got a ride in a golf cart back to our van. You can be sure I'll be posting about that fiasco ;) The Blue Angels definitely stole the show. One correction though, they're not the Marines, they're the Navy. And did they ever rock!
Well, technically the Marines slit off of the Navy. The bottom of "Big Albert" (you know the huge plane that goes with the Blue Angels) said "Marines" hence my saying "Marines ... Who knows, to me they are pretty much the same except the Marines are more hard core :)
Lol, true. On their website, they do mention working a bit with the marines as well.
