To the Air Show

Last weekend we went to an air show with our son and his wife and our oldest grandson. Things started out calmly, with these little planes doing their stunt flying. 
But soon the big, fast birds were in the air... 
...thrilling us with the magnificent things they could do.
Awesome!
 It is so interesting to hear Jame talk about the planes. He is so knowledgeable, and we are so very proud of him! 

 JJ favorite part of the day was the Robosaurus! He loves to see this monstrous fire-breathing metal dinosaur-robot crunch and munch cars!
 I was standing just behind the fence where this victim car was, so really got a good view of the action as the "Robo" hoisted the car high into the air, spewing out fire and smoke!
Then it crushed and broke the car in half and "ate" some of the pieces and threw the rest to the ground. Watching all this action was certainly little boys Paradise! 
Later, we walked through one of the big cargo planes. I always marvel at the enormous size of these thing. (just think, there is still another level, where the troops sit, above this!)
 It always amazes me to think that something this big can stay in the air!
 JJ got some warpaint on his face...
 and donned the garments of a soldier...
 (along with his mom...)
 for a great photo-op! 
He is a very serious little soldier!
We had such a fun day (even though it was very hot out) at the air show; and loved the time that we could spend with our family.
