Air Fest 2008


We were very lucky to get a sneak peek at Air Fest this year. We have wanted to take the children for some time, but it is sooo crowded! Anyway, our friend Julie was nice enough to sign the families from our SS class onto the base for Friend and Family day - the day before the actual show. It was awesome, and the different pilots were all practicing. The kids loved seeing the planes up close and watching the F-18 show off. Daniel told them all the names and Mr. Geer showed them the hydrolics.

Afterward, Julie had us back to the house for dinner, and then we were running off to the beach for fireworks and more planes. There was an F-18 entertaining the crowd at the beach--by far the best show I've ever seen. There's just something about a jet whizzing by and the roar following overhead.

We just loved it. Thanks so much Julie (and Samantha!)!

We had a great time too. It was our first airshow so quite the experience for us too! And I have to say, Daniel would be very disappointed in you if he knew you labeled pictures another "another big plane." He knew all the names. Impressive!

Carol - no, I didn't know about the CVS advisor thing. How do you sign up? Thanks for the tip!
