Blue Angels


We had the opportunity to go to the St. Louis County Fair and Air Show a week or so ago (on Labor Day). I'll say we could have picked a cooler day to go, but it was fun anyway - at least for Brian and I. The one thing Brian wanted to see was the Blue Angels performance, and it was awesome!! Brian got this shot of them as they flew over us. It's really amazing how they coordinate everything and even fly upside down.....you really just have to see it in person to get the WOW factor. The boys were less than impressed and mostly complained that they couldn't ride the rides and that the airplanes were too loud...go figure. I finally took them and rode some rides - have to say there were many generous people there also....at least 3 families came up to us and offered us their leftover tickets at various times! And I now remember why I never really cared for that "buccaneer" type ride (can't remember what it's called).

Anyway, hope everyone has a good weekend! The boys and I are headed to Illinois for my Great-Uncle's funeral, so it will be a sad one for us. Take care!
