The Airshow!

We love when it's Airshow time!
We have great seats right in our yard. The girls love it and hate it. Natalie and Angela hated one of the jets - not sure what it was, but I know it broke the sound barrier every time it flew because you could see that really cool thing the air does behind it when it breaks the sound barrier. Listen to me, I sound so technical.
When the jet that was doing this went over our house I have to admit it scared the heck out of me too. It really sounded like it could hit the house. So I don't blame the girls for the crying episodes we had every day for three days. But they seemed to really enjoy the other stuff quite a bit. Until we actually went to the air show. We have such great "seats" that we've never paid to go in before. However, this year some good friends shared tickets with us. We decided to check it out. It was a great show, but once the supersonic jet flew by it was over for Angela. She covered her ears the whole time and when the jets that fly in formation came out for the big show she FREAKED out. We still had fun though and luckily got to see the show two other times with less drama from our house!

One day we had a picnic outside and watched the fun. I really enjoy this time of year - all the neighbors come out to watch and there's a lot of excitement. A lot of traffic too though - that was a huge bummer when I had to go to a photo shoot and was 20 minutes late because they diverted traffic all in one direction from our neighborhood. Grrrrr. That is my only complaint though. It's worth the inconvenience.

This was when Angela still liked the Air Show. (o:
