Air Show!!

This past Saturday, we headed out to the air force base for the air show!  We had heard that getting in and out (with parking and buses) was nightmarish, but it all worked out perfectly for us!
On the bus!
I don't know the names of any of the planes...so here we are with a really big one!  :)  Can you find Lucas in his red sweater?
Kate really like the Jolly Green Giant.
Lucas took multiple turns with this gun on the helicopter.  Watching the helicopters do a pretend rescue mission was one of my favorite parts.  We saw a parachuter and quite a few soldiers sliding down a rope from the helicopter to rescue the parachuter!
There is an F-something-fighter way up high in the sky here!  Kaitlin lost one of her "doggy ears" by this point.
Inside a helicopter.
Awesome and loud!  Check out the boys' earplugs.
Goofball!!
Lucas loved this little glider; Kaitlin did not.
The Thunderbirds!!
We ate delicious, messy treats-funnel cakes and cotton candy.  Devin and I were covered in powdered sugar, and Lucas' hands and face were dark blue.  And his face was also very heavily sprinkled with our powdered sugar!!  It was sooooooo funny--I didn't get a picture though, because he was very scowly since we were all laughing at him.  Poor kid!
And guess who was also at the air show??  Boo the Clown!!!  Sans make-up.  His company, Amazing Clowns, brought all of their bounce houses and little carnival rides.  We said hi, and the kids had a great time bouncing away!
