Air Show

The Navy here does an Air Show every year. We like to go when it's at the Naval Base. So we did. Yesterday.
The boys thought this bomb robot looked a little like Wall-E How cute is this mini-plane?

Doesn't he look like he's shooting something?

I got to dress up in a bomb squad suit.



Next we went in a coast gaurd plane. Stephen was in LOVE with it. There was a pilot next to him who told him how to fly the plane. Stephen thought we should take off right then. The guy asked him where we would go, without hesitation Stephen says, "Costco" "Why Costco? What would we get there" "White cheese, we are low on white cheese" So the guy says, "that sounds fun" But we didn't really fly his plane to Costco. Stephen was offended by that. haha.


This is on the same plane it was super busy and Stephen made a Bee Line for the cockpit so me and Stephen didn't get to see this back part. Apparently Ethan liked it though.
Here's Ethan flying a Helicopter.
And Stephen doing the same.
There was all the usual Air Show stuff, planes flying and stuff. The sky was bad, it was misty and low clouds all day. Apparently there were lots more tricks and stuff we didn't get to see. We ate there too, the Italian sausage at the Jax Navy Air Show are really good. Seriously good. Mmmmmm. The Pizza was ok too, some Red Barron company I'd never heard of.
Ethan LOVED the show. He had super freak out joy for the planes flying over. Stephen didn't care as much about those, but loved the planes you could go up to and such. So all in all it was fun.
After that we spent an entire HOUR getting out of the parking lot. It was crazy. Then we went to Toys R Us in Orange Park, Brian got some new action figure sports dolls he collects. Ethan got a Hot Wheels car (we are very into those now). Stephen made a suprise decision. He didn't find a convertable yellow hot wheels car so he WAITED! We have a new Toys R Us opening up in a few days so he wanted to wait and see if the new store has just the very car he wants. I'm pretty proud of that atitude.
Then to BJ's warehouse store. We went to visit the cubs. Do you know about cubs? HERE you go. The boys are OBSESSED with them. They ARE wicked adorable, make super cute noises. Stephen wants the polar bear and Ethan wants the white tiger. I want the panda. (just kidding I don't want one) Anyhow they LOVE LOVE LOVE them. Unfortunately for my children they were born to cheap parents. Although they are adorable and robotic (Wow Wee seems to make really COOL robot toys) we just can't pay $40 for a stuffed animal. That's EACH because you KNOW they would both want one. Sigh. So no Cubs for my boys, although we do love to visit them at the BJ's. We did get a giant thing of play doh that is for Halloween, but I'm gonna just use for my own kids. And some meat. Then we ate dinner there because all that took way longer than we planned and it was past dinner time.
We got home at like 8. It was two super fun days in a row.
Today is Sunday, we did Church. It was good, church usually is. I FINALLY brought this baby quilt I made a girl at church and she did love it, so that's good. :) Then we had Bar B Q chicken on the grill. I'm thinking about taking a nap and Brian and the boys are going to watch some Mr Bean movie. (shudder)
