Beautiful Day for an airshow...

Saturday we went down to McChord Air Force Base for the air expo. The weather was perfect! It was not too hot and the sky cleared up so there was hardly a cloud in sight by the time the Thunderbirds performed. We got there alittle bit late so we missed some of the aerial stuff but we go to see some neat planes on the ground. We met up with Daniel's brother Ben and his family and our friends Katy and Clay and their son. Addie was not so impressed with all of the noise. Actually she screamed everytime the fighter plane flew by. I guess we need to spend some more time at the airport! :)

We sat Addie in one of the big military planes (I couldn't tell you what it's called). Yea, that's an ear plug in her ear that she wouldn't keep in!
This is one of the engines from the same plane.

This is the best picture we got of the F-22 Raptor. It was much cooler in person.

Addie really wanted to go to sleep, but as you can imagine it was a bit too noisy.

Samantha Weeks, #5. She is the first ever female lead solo pilot for the Thunderbirds. I managed to fight the crowd and get her autograph. I tried to take a picture of the two of us myself but the silly camera didn't take it! So this is her signing someone else's book...

Daddy and Addie with the monster truck.

Can you imagine me flying one of these?! I would have to sit on like 5 cushions to see where we were going!
