New River Air Show

Today we went to the New River Air Station... to go to the Air Show! It was really cool!! Another occasion where more sun screen should have been applied, but it was really neat!

We got there around 11 this morning and did not leave until 3! We saw so many cool things. They had many Marine vehicles and planes set up that we could walk through and see! I finally got see a tank up close, I even stood on it! It amazed me to see the planes and helos so close... I see them in the sky all the time... but you just have no idea how big they are until you have touched them! They had paratroopers that jumped from 6,000 feet, lots of planes that did all kinds of tricks, and an amazing pilot named Patty Wagstaff, she flew her plane just 20 feet about a ribbon and cut it with her wing! Deb is a big fan of hers so we got her autograph for her (we will be sending it out in the mail soon!) This is her plane in this first picture....








We of course met up with team Matrick! Patrick's grandparents are visiting this weekend, they really seemed to enjoy the show. It was a really great day!
