I always loved going to the air show when I was growing up. My father was a Captain in the army and flew planes so he loved taking us and showing off all his knowledge. I quickly became fascinated with the Blue Angels at an early age and always thought it would be absolutely spectacular to be one of their elite pilots. Too bad my stomach probably wouldn't agree.
This past weekend was the Cleveland Air Show and Derek's office is the perfect spot to watch from. We went a couple years ago but Drew was old enough to really enjoy the show this year on the patio. I kept Ady inside the air conditioning most of the time as it was loud, but Drew used daddy's work 'ears' and enjoyed the show outside with him. He has his planes (you can see one in his lap below) and it was adorable watching him 'fly' those around during the show.
Have you ever seen the Blue Angels? Aren't they just impressive?
Ahhhh! My dad used to work for Burk Lake so I grew up going to Cleveland's air show. I looked forward to it every year! That is probably the one thing I truly miss about Cleveland! I'm so glad you went and had fun. It looks like it was a beautiful day out too.
ReplyDeleteI love this! Airshows are the best, my brother was on the Thunderbird team for 7 years and it was amazing to see them do their demonstrations.
ReplyDeleteGot your pun....blue angels being hubby and son in their blues...kewt!
ReplyDeleteAdorable! We're taking our wee one to the air show next month! It will be a first for all of us and we can't wait. Any idea where I can get a pair of those "ears"??
ReplyDeleteI love the Blue Angels! We lived in Pensacola for 10 months, and so we would go to their practices during the week. It is awesome. They will be here next month. I am pretty excited because their PAO was in my husband's OCS class so she sent the girls a bunch of promotional stuff to prepare them for the show.
ReplyDeleteAwesome. The Blue Angels come to Traverse City every other year for the Cherry Festival. We love them and took Leland there this year. I have been watching the air shows since I was little. :)
ReplyDeleteLucky Girl- I'd give anything to see the Blue Angels
ReplyDeleteWe have those same "ears"! Did you know they make "ears" specifically for littles? If you're interested I can do a little digging and shoot you some more info.
ReplyDeleteSo cool! My family used to vacation near Pensacola, FL, so we got to see the Blue Angels a lot.
