This past weekend was GORGEOUS & perfect to attend the Arctic Thunder Air Show (despite Daddy having to work throughout the weekend at it). Our morning started out with a special trip to McDonald's for breakfast (this has almost never happened so the kids were beside themselves) where we fueled up & got ready to see some action!
The Thunderbirds
A C-5 aircraft
(just like the one we flew home on from CA earlier in the spring)
This time though it wasn't in the middle of the night & everyone was much more awake!
I think this by far was Thomas' favorite...
the acrobatic planes that dove from the sky, twisted in the air & left trails of tail smoke behind!
Abby especially enjoyed seeing the parachuters jump & glide through the sky.
It was pretty cool to see this Coast Guard rescue helicopter which came over from Kodiak Island (Fun Fact: Kodiak CG station has the largest fleet in the entire Coast Guard)
Who would have thought we would see a race car here at the Air Show?
The kids thought this was pretty cool.
I can assure you that after this weekend of perfect weather (low 70s & sunny), I never want to attend another air show where it is hot, humid and down right unbearable. No thank you.
I will take a summer Alaskan one anytime.
