Dave came home from work on Friday with a gleam in his eye, asking if we had any plans for Saturday morning. When I told him no, he excitedly began talking about this small air show going on a few minutes from our house...and by "small" he was talking about model airplanes. I was skeptical as to how fun it could be, but agreed. And guess what?! It was a ton of fun. The planes weren't quite as small as I was picturing - they were actually pretty large remote control planes and the tricks they could do were amazing.
|
It was a great atmosphere for Leah because she was somewhat free to roam, and the crowd was small enough that she could see everything going on. |
|
This jet was the first one that we saw. It was amazing...it could fly at speeds up to 200 miles an hour! |
|
This was one of three airplanes from the World War II era. They all flew at the same time and even did some flying formations - a difficult thing for three different people controlling their planes by remote control. |
|
This was the biggest airplane we saw and it did trick after trick after trick. The most repeated trick was hovering in one spot as seen in the picture above. |
|
Even Dallin got to roam around quite a bit instead of being stuck in the stroller like he usually is. And he took full advantage! |
|
I don't love these next few pictures of me (I didn't do my hair that morning because I was going to get it cut that afternoon), but I love how Dallin snuggled up to my face when I leaned in for a picture with him. He's such a cuddle-bug! |
So thank you Dave for an awesome idea for a family activity! You can take us to a mini airshow any time!
