We live about 2 miles from Hill Air Force Base and this year, Hill was chosen as one of the 3 bases to host Air Force Week so we decided Adam might like watching the air show (seeing as we have jets fly over our house nearly every day, we figured he would enjoy actually seeing the planes!). It took us 45 minutes just to drive up the hill to the entrance! And another 30 minutes of walking from the parking lot to the field! By the time we got there it was noon so we looked at a few airplanes and watched a few in the sky and decided to leave around 1:15 because we were all hot, tired, and hungry. Adam seemed interested in the airplanes and Nat and I enjoyed the flying tricks. We wanted to see the Thunderbirds but they didn't have a program of what time certain planes would be flying so we had no idea when to come. We did end up hearing them later in the afternoon though! All-in-all it was a fun excursion. I'm looking forward to my little baby growing up into a boy who loves trucks, airplanes, trains, and cars (at least Nat is hoping he does) that we can take to things like this!
Watching the sky and pointing out the airplanes
We couldn't resist buying this little Tonka fighter jet. Adam flew it around and sucked on it the entire walk back to the car.
