Aviation Nation!!!

Every Year Nellis AFB does a HUGE Air show. I brave the crowds, buses and noise by myself with two kids. It's loads of fun!!! I have to say it was easier this year. I don't know if we arrived at the right time(we were late as usual) or if the lines were smaller or what. We only had to wait about 20 minutes for the bus and we didn't have to ride the handicap one either!! I have usually tried to go through the handicap line because it is shorter and I am handicapped with two kids right? Any way, it was easier this year. Especially with Erika a little more independent. At least she could go up the bus steps her self. The kids as usual had a blast. They love being able to crawl through all of the planes and Wyatt especially likes to play with the guns. They really have some neat stuff the kids can see and there are tons of free stuff. Just what we wanted to haul around all day right?

The highlight of the day for the kids was to meet Billy the Exterminator. He has a TV show that they love to watch. "Billy" has a saying that is on the shows introduction. When it was our turn, Wyatt told him he really liked his show and really liked the part where he says "Ahhhh, Snake!!!" So in turn "Billy" did this for him. We weren't able to take pictures with our camera but they did take one. I am waiting for it to be on the website so I can download it. I have no idea why this guy was at the air show but Wyatt sure liked it.

We enjoyed watching the airplanes and one of these years I will remember to actually bring earplugs instead of having to have my kids plug their ears with their fingers. I only wish that Chris would be able to go one of these times instead of having to work.
