Our friends invited us to tag along with them to the Air Show/Open House at the nearby Air Force Base. The Thunderbirds would be flying! Fun! Exciting! We had a bit of a late start and were sure we would miss the Customs and Border Patrol demo that the twins' daddy was participating in. He swore it was no big deal, and not to rush. But then he seemed disappointed when we weren't there on time.
But, as it turned out, the show was running a bit behind schedule and we heard them announce the CPB just as we got to the scene. We watched the girls' dad catch a bad guy.
We saw an extraction demo, for the soldiers who are caught in enemy territory,
We saw the Thunderbirds up close and were excited for their show! The main event, it would be.
The kiddos passed time climbing in and around a variety of military helicopters and planes, and Nicco took a picture of a Dodge Challenger to show his own Dad.
After a $5 hot dog and an hour or two of walking around in the dust and wind, the kids were tired and anxious to see the hero of the CPB. And, there he is! (P.S. that is the weirdest angle of Nicco's neck. I swear his hair does NOT really look like that. Bizarre.)
More military utility vehicles...
We headed back to the truck to watch the Thunderbird show. We planned to sit in the bed of the truck then be the first ones to leave...no crowds or traffic to fight on the way out!
But look at all the dust. We could barely breathe! And it was so windy. Too windy for the planes to do their thing. The main event was cancelled. Boo! At least we were already in the car when we got the word. We headed on home to catch the beautiful dusty sunset.
Another great day. We have so many great days! And great people to share them with.
