Indy Air Show

Becky called a couple days ago and said, "I'm thinking of taking the kids to the Indy Air show, want to come?"  I'll admit my initial thought was...It's supposed to be 90 degrees on Friday and airfields = no shade.  5 kids + 90 degrees + no shade = Crazy!!  Sure I said.  And off we went. I hoped for the best. :)

On a side note, you will probably find that most of the photos of me this summer will be with a bandana tied around my head because 1. I want to keep my hair out of my face and off my neck and 2. Keeps the sweat out of my eyes. And there was plenty of that today.

We all had a lot of fun. It was funny watching David awestruck by all of the planes taking off and doing aerobatics.

Here are the kids in the back of one of the planes. There were people in front of us lifting their kids up in there so we waited until they were done and put the kids in there. Approximately 2 seconds after I snapped the photo a security guy came around the wing and said, "NO, NO, NO! We do not climb in the planes!" I apologized profusely and got them out quickly. Perhaps they should keep the door shut.

We watched the Jelly Belly plane do some tricks and then proceed to land on top of the RV as it was driving down the runway.

Then it was time for the F-18 demonstration. An F-18 screaming down the runway is LOUD! An F-18 screaming by while AC/DC's "Thunderstruck" is playing on the speakers is a ton of fun. I really wanted to yell, "I feel the need....the need for speed!" And then give Aaron a high five, but I resisted.

After the demonstration Aaron and David got to meet the pilots and get a signed photo of the plane.

Afterwards we loaded up and hit the McDonald's for an ice cream cone on the way home. And a good time was had by all...a hot time, but a good time.
