Air Show

On Saturday we went to the Air Show at NAS. We were surprised at how chilly it was when we got there. The weather was overcast and windy. Lennox bundled up in mama's jacket until we found a warmer spot under the sun. 

There was so much to see and do. The first thing we did was the bouncey rides, of course. Lennox loved this one. 

Then we stood in line forever to climb this:

And then walk down :-) Lennox freaked at the top and cried to come down. I climbed all the way up to get him and couldn't get him on the slide so we walked down. 

We were able to see a lot of planes up close. Lennox was a little afraid this close to the plane. We watched a few small shows and debated staying for the Blue Angels at 3pm. But, we were planning to do Spooktacular that night and knew Lennox needed a nap so we headed home.

On Sunday we decided to head back to see the Blue Angels. The crowds were crazy. We finally got into the base and onto the airfield and settled in for a show. When we got there we saw a WWI flight demo with planes in a dogfight. There were explosions and fires and Lennox loved that. This was how Lennox watched most of the show. On my neck or daddy's. Whew! He was heavy.

This little Blue Angel we had to buy for Lennox. He played with it and whooshed it all around while the real planes zoomed by. Lennox was amazed with the airplanes. So were mommy and daddy. We were glad we stuck out the crowds and did the second visit on Sunday so that we could experience it together.
