We ventured out to Luke Air Force Base for their annual air show. We spent...are you ready...two hours in line waiting to get in! We were a little concerned that they wouldn't let us bring in food. No need to worry...we ate it all before we even got in the gates.
We had plenty of time to catch up with my parents and see what has been up in their lives. The kids did really well considering the air temperature. It was hot.
It is really nice that the base does this. Where else would you get an opportunity to sit in a helicopter. Of course Jared or my Dad could tell you exactly what kind of helicopter. So for me, I will just call it a helicopter.
These were the Blue Angels. It amazes me how they keep their position in formation no matter if they are upside down or side ways. Totally awesome!
Nothing like a snowcone on a hot day. Either Victoria or her wolf are determined to get every drop.
This is funny. Kaleb kept looking at this hook. I knew what he was thinking but I wasnt sure if he was really going to attempt to stand on it or not. You are actually supposed to sit on it. Anyway, he did it. It was so funny because he was hanging on for dear life. The pilot just chuckled. It must be every boys dream.
Jared looks a little too happy with this machine gun. Makes a mother worry. There was a kid just before Jared who asked the pilot if there were bullets in the machine gun. The guy at first said "No" plain as day and then did a double take and said "yeah, there are bullets in this gun with thousands of civilians around and a kid at the trigger", "No there aren't any bullets in this thing...what do you think we are nuts?"
This was just a pretty plane. A biplane from WWI. I do know that much.
Kids were taking turns at the wheel of this Jeep. Every once in a while someone would get in and beep the horn. It was such a loud shrieking type beep that it would startle the person (mostly a little kid) that they would jump out and think they did something wrong and walk away like...I wasn't doing anything. Sometimes it's funny to people watch.
Here we are hanging out in the shade of a massive wing waiting for the Blue Angels to appear. We were all hot and tired from walking around. It gave us the last bit of umph we needed to hike to the van in a massive dust cloud in a field.

How fun! I remember taking the kids to Hill Air Force Base in Roy, Utah. The planes and helicopters are so powerful and awesome. The last time we waited that long for something was on Valentine's Day for dinner at Texas Road House. We ate a lot of Peanuts! (if you have ever been there they have big barrels of peanuts to snake on) Hi Aunt Barb and Uncle Len. Pam, it's good to see you and Kirk in some of the pictures, you need more of the two of you.
Great pictures.
I would have died in that heat. But it looked like a lot of fun. I am glad that Lenny and Barbara were there too.
