Yesterday we went to Fairchild Air Force Base to see the air show. It was pretty impressive. Lots of breaking of the sound barrier and old planes that are still in working order. Jeremy could give you all the stats about everything, they kind of blended together in my mind. We got to see the new F22 hover in mid-air and then take off like shot. I remember them saying that its basically the coolest thing out there and can be both a bomber and a fighter. Lots of acrobatics from various local plane-owners. It was too windy for the para-jumpers to show off, but they strutted around for a while and let the kids get a good look. And the Blue Angels were the Grand Finale'. I had never seen the blue angels in real life, but wow! Complete with top-gun music in the background, these pilots are amazing. Our pictures don't do them justice, but the announcer said in some of the stunts there is only about 18" between the wings. Amazing. And it was a free show to boot! You can't beat that. Maeli liked being outside, but there was no where she could really let loose, so she got antsy before the show was over. Plus she's getting 2 molars, so its hard to keep her happy. When it was over there, we made a run to target (since we were so close to one!) and then ate at IHOP for the first time. Stuffed waffles are well worth the $6.
