Air Show 2008


We stayed at the show for about 2 1/2 hours. Rory saw the planes and gasped. He morphed into a History Channel host and proceeded to tell us about every object with wings. He loved the prop jobs like the one in the picture above. The jets were very loud and did not get an enthusiastic reception from him. About the third pass the first jet made Rory sat under my lawn chair and cried. J had to come peel him out. He warmed up to the air monsters after a bit.

Getting a better few of the jet car. It beat the plane in a race.

Lorelei did not care about any of it. She did not get scared by all the noise. She tried to go to sleep once. We were very proud of our little trooper.

J helped out his co-workers for a bit on Sunday at their booth. He makes great lemonade! Rory had to be glued to his father as usual.

"hiding" from the jets. He held onto J for dear life. Even after he got more comfortable with them he had to have daddy hold him and cover his ears.

We found Elvis! He has been on the Air Show circuit all this time. I never knew how short he was.

This is an Osprey. It was one of the planes in Transformers, one of J and Rory's favorite movies. What makes it so cool is that is can take off in vertically or horizontally.

A still jet. Rory prefers then this way.

"A plane chopper daddy!"
