Blue Angels

Last week we went to see the Blue Angels air show. First I do want to say that I saw them as a kid and it was awesome. I remember it very well and we had fun. So, when I heard they where coming to town I had to get tickets. I talked the show up so much and I was so excited for the girls to see them, especially Kaite. We left Kami with my family, that would have been a major nightmare! And we took Ash, Kaite, Chris and Chantelle with us. We decided to ride one of the shuttles to the show. I will say that I was worried about catching it coming back, but was told "not to worry about it, it would be fine." We did have to wait about an hour for the shuttle (no big deal) and when we got there we found Missy and Briant and started looking for water. They did not allow you to bring in drinks or food, but you could bring empty water bottles and fill them for free. When we did find the water Ky and Chris waited in line for over an hour just to have it run out right before them. I took the girls and we started looking at the other planes. Well to make the rest of our miserable day shorter I will say we ended up waiting 2 hours for food- that ran out too. We paid $3.50 for a bottle of water, our food bill was horrendous! We waited almost 3 hours to get on a shuttle bus in the sun to take us back to our car, and we were at the front of the line! We also ended up changing lines about 4 times before we boarded a bus, that was a nightmare! Ash had a slight case of heat stroke and none of us were happy. We will not be doing that again! But we did have some fun during the day. The Blue Angels were awesome and did not disappoint. The girls had so much fun sitting in the choppers and checking out the cockpit of an airplane. I have lots of pictures to post and thanks to Missy for providing some. Here are the parts of the day we would like to remember! Kaite loved the girl walking on the plane the best, of course. Ash liked the Blue Angels best.
