Blue Angels

(I'm the tiny one in the middle)

This past weekend my mom, dad, Aunt Linda, Uncle Bob, Aunt Lara and Uncle George and I all went up to Fort Worth to see my cousin, Jonathan, in the Blue Angels.  I've never been to an air show before, but it was quite an interesting day!  Besides JEEP offering test drives on obstacle courses and various other activities, we were able to get up close and personal with some antique planes and see an amazing show!

After our 7am breakfast at the Waffle House, we headed to the air field to watch several hours of swirling, diving, and a whole hoard of impressive feats from some very talented pilots.

Here are a few pictures from the day, but be sure to check out my photography blog for more awesome photos of the planes in action!

That's my cousin, Jon (good-lookin' runs in the family)  

Thanks to Jon, Mom owns a priceless souvenir

Lots of people came out to the air show

This is how we spent most of the day (don't blame Dad for taking a snooze, the sun takes a lot out of you!)

Boys and planes...

...tell me this doesn't look like a spaceship...

I'm not sure of the significance, but Jon seemed worried I didn't get this shot...

...and in action!

They were phenomenal!
