Blue Angels

Wow!!!!! Tomorrow the Blue Angels are performing here and we are too cheap to go ($15 a person) but they had a practice session today and we went and saw the most amazing things. How cool to watch the stunts and maneuvers they can do, especially flying so close together.

This one here below really surprised us. We were watching and looking all around us waiting for them to come back through and do another trick when all of sudden there was this plane right above us (and I mean right above us) and then the sound hit us. It scarred us pretty good, especially Luke. He really enjoyed watching them up until this point and would just point at them in the sky and smile, but after this anytime there was sound he would get scarred and cry. The girls didn't last long either and were begging to go home but it was so amazing to watch these guys in action and Sam, Seth and I sure had great fun.

This is all them in formation. It seriously looks like their wings are almost touching. I can't believe they can fly so close together.

What great pictures! We're going this morning! It's a little unnerving how close they get! I'm so glad you guys went to watch them! I'll try to be prepared for the low-flying one. Thanks for the heads-up!
