Dayton Air Show

We couldn't go to the Sink Hole party because we already had plans to go to our very first air show. The Blue Angels were there, and our boys have LOVED the Blue Angels ever since we saw them practice last year, so we couldn't resist.

We drove over on Saturday and went to the show on Sunday. It was a long day, we got there at 9:00 and they were the final performance at 3:30. It was hot and the boys were tired (no nap on the way to OH???? bad night of sleep in the bed together and no nap all that day.) Grant was actually falling asleep in my arms as the Blue Angels were starting! I sprayed him in the face with a water bottle to wake him up, nothing else was working!
After the performance, the pilots came over to the fence we were standing beside and gave autographs and talked to the kids. Camden and Grant had on shirts and hats that said "Future Blue Angels" and the pilots all commented on them!

All in all, we had a great time. Carl and I put in a lot of hard work for the boys to enjoy a 30 minute show, but we would do it again.

Here are a few pictures from our day:

I know trips are a lot of work, but you will have memories to last a lifetime & it's so worth it! (come to think of it, some Minnesota memories would be nice for those kids!) The mosquitoes are BAD this year...lots of rain)Still, we're having a good time.
