The Plane! The Plane!

We went to the air show at Tinker Air Force Base today. The kids (TJ, too!) loved the planes--especially the planes who did tricks while in the air. We watched parachutes jump from the sky and land on the flight line.

We spent a lot of time in the hangers "out of the hot sun". They had the NASA space shuttle displays inside. Aliya loved the moon rock. There where all sort of space models and displays to look at. It was all VERY interesting!

Here's our space cadets! Some days I feel like joining the space program, too!

When I first saw the four-wheelers and bikes, I thought "now why would these be at an AIR show?" Then I remembered. . . where there are planes, there are guys--where there are guys, there are bikes.

It didn't take long before everyone was getting hot and thirsty. What better way to cool down than to have a icy popsicle? After they finished eating their popsicles, they were all sticky. What better way to wash up than to be hosed down with water from the water hose stations?!

We were all hot, tired, and thirsty when we left. After getting a bite to eat, TJ went with Niah and Aliya back to the base to watch the fireworks show. Kiahna and I went home to go to bed. All in all, it was a fun family day!
