Sorry it's been a while since the last post - we've had a busy few weeks and every chance I've had to be on the computer I've felt zapped! Last weekend, an air show came to Houston and was going on only about 10 minutes away from us! A family from church invited us to come to their house for a cookout and to be able to watch the show clearly just a few blocks from their home (the airfield is behind the gate we were sitting in front of). We had a great time of fellowship - and a great time watching amazing airplanes fly right over our heads (amazing... crazy... probably a combination of those two words would be appropriate!).
Graham loved watching them - the few days before, all of the planes were flying in and going over our apartment. Every time he heard one, he would run to the window, point into the sky, and say "car-car!" I took note that at least he didn't say "car" once like he does for a regular car... so maybe "car-car" means that he recognized that it's flying? This week he's finally starting to call them planes - we've had a breakthrough!! Needless to say, he enjoyed the show as well.
A crazy red bi-plane that did all kinds of fun tricks... I was scared numerous times as the pilot plunged toward the earth, seeming to barely pull up before it reached the ground. Amazing.
A very large plane... I'll have to ask Nat again what kind it was (B-17?) I don't remember... they all had letters and numbers in their names. It was big!
The highlight of the show was when the Thunderbirds did their show... 6 very fast planes and very skilled pilots put on a great show!!
These were some of the friends from church who watched the show with us!
