Fort Drum Air Show
Today we headed out for Mountain Fest. It is an all day event on Ft. Drum. We really were looking forward to the air show. We wanted to stay for the Jo Dee Messina concert and fireworks, but by 6PM we were all exhausted and ready to head home.
B could tell you what all of these planes are. I just thought they were cool to look at. The kids enjoyed being able to go into the different planes, and they were even allowed to run around a little. They thought it was great fun! I was just excited to get out of the house and go and do something. (B: These are C-130s)
I had to laugh when B looked fabulous in this photo and the kids were both not wanting to participate! What silly little ones.
They started the air show off with skydivers. It was really cool to see the American flag unfurl and fly in the sky. It truly is an awesome sight!
Luckily we were able to secure some ear plugs for the kids. J would have nothing to do with them, but A was quite pleased.
Two planes made a heart in the sky! Very impressive.
J was fascinated by the water holes on the ground. He is definitely a little boy.
The smaller plane (B says: P-51) got us through WWII and the larger (B says: A-10) is the plane we use today. Once again, I can't remember the names, but B could let you know.
A started a game of "you can't touch me". She would walk up and hold up her hand, and then run when I tried to grab it. She was so cute! It was nice to get some pictures of her REAL smile, and not the fake camera one that she uses.
After the air show, we thought it was only fair to let the kids have some fun too. So we took them to the other end of the airfield where there were jumpers for the kids to play on. A had NO FEAR and she wanted to go on all the big ones. I convinced her to not go in the jumper with the big kids because they were being crazy, but she enjoyed going on the slide.
On the way home, we stopped at the Cowlick for some yummy ice cream. A was asleep in the car so she missed the fun, but J was WIDE awake, and he loved every bite!
