Blue Angels

Last Saturday, Idaho Falls had the opportunity to host the Blue Angels Air Show. For Father's Day, I had purchased Chris a ticket to go and take Jace with him. I was thinking what fun father/son bonding time, especially since Jace loves airplanes. As the 24th got closer and the airplanes were in Idaho Falls, we could see them from our back porch practicing. Jace was so excited it was hard to contain all his excitement!!! I started thinking that maybe it should be a family event, Ali and Baylie were making comments about wanting to go too. It didn't work out in the end for all of us to go but off Chris and Jace went to the air show. Here are a few pics of what they witnessed! All of this just amazes me!!!









Here is a lady "walking the plane"

Look, she's upside down!


Here she is again......





After the show, Chris and Jace walked around to look at some of the planes up close. A helicopter pilot asked if Jace wanted to sit in his helicopter but Jace was too shy to get in. Here he is in front of a couple of the planes. Too cute!

He told me this was his favorite to see up close


A long day makes for a tired boy!

He fell fast asleep in the truck on the way home. He is still, a week later, talking about the airplanes and asks to see the pictures. With all the traffic, it took them 2 hours to get home!! I'm glad they had such a fun day and hope that this is something Jace will remember for a long time!!

  2. Sweet pictures! I'm glad Jace had such a great time. Justin LOVED it! His new favorite thing is going on youtube with me and watching the blue angels on the videos. We didn't actually go to the event at the airport. We found a great neighborhood close to the airport and watched from there. It was still great, and hardly any traffic to get home.
