Air show

So while the girls and I went to the zoo, JR and Eli went to an air show. Both of my boys love things that fly and it was a rare opportunity for just the two of them to go do something without the rest of us. JR called me to let me know that Eli was going to get to ride on a helicopter! I was super bummed that I couldn't be there to see it so I made JR promise to take pictures. How exciting for Eli because he has never even flown on an airplane. And at some point he had been promised a helicopter ride sometime in his lifetime and he had remembered it.

Look at that ear to ear smile....I just love it! This was where they had to stand to wait for the helicopter to come pick them up. They were the last ride of the day because of the weather.

This is just before boarding the helicopter. That is their pilot Sterling behind Eli.

This was right after. I can tell by Eli's face that the kid came right off that thing talking. I'm sure he had lots to say!

There were no pictures when they were inside because it was a bit squished. They flew over Memorial Park and over my work. JR said they were so low that he could read the words on the sides of our trucks at work! And Eli got a big kick out of the headphone/microphones that they wore. He talked the whole time to JR.
