Alliance Air Show

This years airshow was amazing. Paige, Clay and I went up on Friday to watch them practice right outside of Alliance and this was a spectacular view. In between planes you would see a swarm of military planes come in to land. Most of the planes that landed would not fly in the show so it was cool actually see them in action. Fat Albert flew right over our heads and it was a rush. Clay got chills over one of the planes breaking the sound barrier three times right over his head. Paige loved it. She did not want us to cover her ears and just kept saying "wow". I drove super fast to pick Matt up from school hoping that he could see the Blue angles practice and he did.
The Next day was Super Saturday for me and I signed up for all of this stuff. I went the first hour just to pick up all of my projects, Clay wanted to be there when the gates open. When we walked up to the gate you had to walk a mile away in a mile just to walk a mile back to get in. total madness. This year Nikki and Brain asked us to join them and Emma in the Bell Helicopter Tent. This was an awesome view right up and close to center stage. Paige did great until she became tired, but she was able to sleep through all of the commotion. Emma and Matthew had a fun time following each other around. Matthew kept getting a balloon object made and shortly after would get disappointed because it would pop. The planes were amazing. With Clay's mad skills we were able to get pass all the non moving lines of traffic and as we were leaving it is as the Red Sea was being parted for us. We just happened to be the first ones that a cop opened up an additional line of traffic and took us happily on our way. 7 hours of beautiful aircraft.
