Air Show

We were so excited to be able to experience the Beaufort Air Show as a family this year. We knew that Eli would love seeing the big airplanes up close, and hoped that he would survive without a nap that afternoon. It took him a while to adjust to the loud jet noise, but he was still loving every second. We walked around and checked out all of the planes on display, and then found a spot to sit and watch the show. We talked a lot about Uncle Matt while we were there, and Eli thought that he was in every jet that flew by!

Mimi brought him this Blue Angel back from one of the events they went to. So we brought that along with us, and he played with it the whole time.
A retired veteran was walking around handing out these little flags...which provided an entire afternoon of entertainment for Eli. Who needs toys anyways?!

He was so amazed the whole time.
He finally learned what to do when the loud jets flew by.
The Blue Angels put on such a great show. Eli loved counting them as they flew by. He always starts with all 10 fingers up, and mommy's sunglasses ;)
I definitely see many more trips to the Air Show in our future! Except next time, we'll be planning in advance and getting the VIP seats and parking that Papa Tom can get for us!
