Yesterday we went to the Georgia Airshow. We had to park the car a distance away and take a school bus over. William thought it was so exciting to be inside a school bus, it was probably his favorite part of the day.
There were planes and helicopters on the ground, which we could look at and even get inside a few. William sat inside a Blackhawk with the helmet on! Wynn was so excited and kept pointing at the planes and wanted to run and touch them, even when they were on the other side of a barrier.
Once the show started, the kids were a little overwhelmed by the noise. They liked the older planes, but the fighter jet was too much for them.
We went over to a park that is at the air field, and the kids had much more fun playing on the swings and slide. At the park there was a group of military personnel, kids just out of high school, playing Frisbee. It was hard to imagine them in Iraq facing danger. It was hard to imagine them having a job!
We left after just a few hours at the show, it was past nap time and the kids were done. If we go again next year, the kids might be big enough to wear ear plugs, skip a nap and enjoy it a little more.
