Air Show

We drove to Mountain Home Idaho to go to the air show!  We weren't quite sure what to expect, but we were pleasantly surprised.  Kurtis and the boys LOVE airplanes, so they were in heaven.  Even those that aren't too fond of airplanes were quite impressed!  Our airforce truly is amazing!

The first thing we did when we got there was check the planes out!  They let us walk through a lot of the planes and pilots were there to inform us of the aircraft and what its purpose is.  Very fascinating (except for the fact that Kase wants to join the airforce now).

Kurtis inheritted his dads passion for aviation and (as luck would have it) he is passing it right on down to my sweet little boys.

"Yes, honey, you look cute in there... let's get down now!"

Kurtis (against my will) continues to reinforce how COOL this is!

These pictures really don't give these planes any justice.  Those are my kids standing under the tail wing.  That's what a monster this plane is!

After we checked all of the planes (and a few helicopters) out, the airshow began.  Once it started, it was non-stop entertainment.  From dragster cars to hang gliders, WWII bombers to todays F16 fighter jets.  The grand finale was the THUNDERBIRDS

And what a finale they were!  The six of them put on a 45 minute show choreographed to music.  It was unbelievable!

... and as luck would have it, Kase wants to be a thunderbird pilot!  "Awesome, honey!"
