Air Show, 2008

Last Sunday we went to the Air Show at the Little Rock Air Force Base. Emma is really into planes, and Daddy had to work his EMRT tent that day, so we thought this would be a great opportunity for her. Both of the kiddos had a wonderful time!! They got to go inside planes and sit in the pilot's seat. They also loved watching the planes fly and do tricks in the air. We got to see the Blue Angels and Fat Albert (the C-130, I think, that flies with the Blue Angels). The cool part about the Blue Angels was that after the show was over, Randall had to stay and tear down the EMRT tent, and I noticed the Blue Angels were starting up to fly back to Florida. The kids and I went down to the tarmac. Everyone was gone except us and the lady from EMRT that walked down with us. As the pilots taxied their planes down the runway to get ready to take off, each pilot waved at the kids. I thought that was very special...and although the kids are probably too young to remember it, I will always remember how friendly those pilots were towards my children. Hopefully we can go back again next year. I know this post is a little picture happy, but I didn't know how to narrow it down. This isn't even 1/4 of the pics I took!!
