Houston Air Show

On Sunday we decided to go to the Houston Air show. Jacob is so into airplanes we really thought he would enjoy it. So, we packed up our stuff and off we went.
The first thing we saw when we got there was a Coast Guard helicopter that the kids could get inside of. That was a huge hit. Jordan even got to sit in the rescue basket. Jacob only had eyes for the pilots seat!




























Next we were onto a Blackhawk helicopter that we had to wait in an incredibly long line to get into. It was also hot as all get out!! I waited in the line while Rob and the kids went and saw some of the other airplanes at the show. They really had some neat ones there. We finally got to go in the Blackhawk. We sat in the jump seats and of course the pilot seat. The kids thought is was very cool. Rob was just as impressed.


We soon realized that we were complete novices at this whole Air Show thing! We should have brought chairs to sit in and watch the airplanes do their stunts, umbrellas to give us some shade from the incredibly hot day and we also should have snuck food and water in! $4 for water????? We'll know the next time. This next photo shows how Jacob and Jordan spent the rest of the Air Show, with their hands over their ears. It was really, really loud. Jordan did realize that she likes fireworks, the day time ones not the night time ones. We saw planes doing loop de loops, colored smoke coming from lots of planes, bombs being dropped, military planes and for the finale, The Thunderbirds!! Amazing
We had a great time and will go again for sure. Jacob, Jordan and myself all fell asleep on the way home. Napping is great! Thanks Rob for driving home.
