How can you not love an airshow?
It's as American as apple pie
-which ironically, I don't like very much!,
or say the hot dog
-which again, I don't like very much...
Hmmm...
but it's everything that I DO love about this country!
It's freedom, innovation, adrenaline...
Really, you can't go wrong!
And when free museum day rolled around,
we took advantage of saving big bucks on admission
and hit the road...
Grandpa Lopez flew
the Coast Guard "doggie-nose".
We still see it flying in the sky,
and always, always think of him.
We love you, Grandpa!
Ready for take-off!
Not exactly warp-speed...
but one-day,
I want to fly in one of these babies...
I love seeing my boys on the "tarmac".
They look so small!
My girls in a fighter!
Did you know I almost joined the Air Force?
I was on board with the recruiters and
would depart after graduation to report
to Lackland Air Force base in Texas.
Thank goodness for a little thing called,
which changed my life forever!
Big mouths...
Samuel giving his cheesiest
"dignitary" grin!
Yes,
out of all the amazing things to see and do,
leaves top Gabriel's list!
Demonstrating how to go,
when you,
you know,
have to go...
And the proper washing of hands!
Thanks, Bella!
Love the fan!
One of our favorite parts of the day,
standing near a roaring propeller!
We screamed and whooped and hollored
and you could not hear a thing over that engine!
This was a really great day!
Beautiful weather, beautiful planes!
And free!
