Blue Angels Air Show

We found out almost a year ago that the Blue Angels were coming to St. G to do an air show and Randy couldn't have been more excited. He couldn't wait to take the boys. For the 4 or 5 days leading up to the show, the Blue Angels practiced their maneuvers and since we live so close to the airport, they flew over our house everyday. They were fun to watch...and so loud!
As the day got closer, we got worried that the weather was going to cooperate, but it worked out ok. It started out to be really nice and gradually got colder and windier as the show went on but they pretty much got everything in before the weather got too bad. It was the walk back to the car that was interesting...lots of dust all over everything.
Randy & the boys had fun looking at all the planes they had on display before the show started.

We had a lot of fun even though it got really windy at the end. They definitely put on a good show.
