Thunderbirds

The Thunderbirds are Jalen's favorite part of an airshow. He LOVES them. They are LOUD and FAST. Last year when we when to Branson for and airshow Jalen got a toy Thunderbird, he called it a pilot, that he loved and he flew it in the air when the Thunderbirds were on. So this year all he could talk about were the Thunderbirds and getting a new pilot.

I don't know why but I always think of the movie Top Gun during the Thunderbirds and I think they should be playing "highway to the danger zone"

We had to leave before they were done. We had an awesome time together and I think airshows will be something we continue to do as a family. (as long as the boys like it anyway)

Tora Tora Tora

At the airshow they did a reenactment of Pearl Harbor. It was called Tora, Tora, Tora! The planes that they use were in a movie. Jerald and I went to Pearl Harbor when we were in Hawaii in 2005, so it was interesting to see the reenactment and to think about the real Pearl Harbor and the that sank. It makes me so grateful fro the men and women who serve our country and who have lost their lives to protect us.
