Flight Festival.

Two weekends ago - yup, I am still that far behind...we went to the flight festival here in town. We had never taken Elena to anything like this before so we decided to give it a try, especially since she thinks planes are pretty awesome (although she does think they all go to California! - ha!) First we checked out some smaller planes. It was pretty hard to make her leave this toy model!

Then we explored this awesome Army helicopter!

Elena loved pretending to fly it! :)

Then we moved on to some bigger planes~



And finally time for the airshow!


Elena was not too excited after about the first 10 minutes of it. But my Mom and I were loving it and would have loved to stay longer! One real crowd pleaser was this semi-truck~

It looks normal until you realize there is a jet engine on the back of it!!! Crazy! How can anyone drive a truck that is going 200+ miles per hour!!!??? Let's just say I'm glad were weren't right up at the fence!


Another thing about the truck, it was cool, but it was LOUD! I mean ear-deafeningly loud! Yikes - after that we decided to head out and go get some lunch!

On the way out we still had a great view of some other acts and this duo was amazing - they did some unbelievable tricks! Maybe Elena will be up for staying longer next year! We will just have to wait and see!
