One Sunday in March, my mom asked if we would be interested in joining us for the airshow that is held near our house. While Darin wasn't super interested in going I knew he would enjoy himself, so we packed some snacks and the stroller for Emma and headed out.
We got there at around 11 as the show was to start at 12, and the Blue Angels would perform at 3. We made our way through the mass of people and into the airfield. Lots of vendors were there and we looked for some souvenirs for Emma but they seemed a bit too old for her age. Although I regret not buying her a silly toy plane now! We met some of the Blue Angels and bought some lunch. On the way in a guy was handing out hats for a donation and I got an Air Force hat in honor of my dad. We watched all the old WWI and WWII planes perform and then had some lunch.
We went and looked at all the cool display planes and even sat in a LA Sheriff helicopter and squad car for Emma's godfather. That will be the only time shes allowed in the back of a squad car! LOL.
Daddy picked up Emma to put her on his shoulders for a time while we watched all the cool planes fly and do awe inspiring tricks. Since I have limited storage on my phone I missed taking all those photos....but trust me they were impressive. Miss Emma and all of us enjoyed the day immensely. Can anyone else attest to doing this. I was so focused on keeping the sun off my precious baby's skin with sunscreen that I completely forgot to put some on myself until in was too late and I looked like a tomato on my back :-S Oh well. All in the name of motherhood I guess!
What fun things do you all do with your kiddos on the weekends?
