The first weekend in October we went to the Wings Over Houston Airshow. It had rained the night before and there was water everywhere. We were literaly walking through puddles. Within about 15 minutes of being there I think my feet were soaked. It was overcast that day and so all of the heat and moisture was being trapped. It was probably 85 degreees and 85% humidity! I thought I would die. It didn't seem to bother the kids or Scott (who had on water proof shoes) though. We all had a great time. We saw lots of neat airplanes. Many of them were from WWII. This picture is of the kids and I standing outside of a B-17. Scott and the kids went inside for a little tour and thought it was great.
This is a big helicoptor they were able to get in and sit down. We even watched a heloicoptor land while they waited to get in this one. Carlyn really liked this and didn't want to get out when it was time to continue on.
We had to take a picture of this one because Carter's nickname is "Bug". You can't tell very well in the picture but this bug had attitude-just like Carter.
Look at that protective big brother! This is inside the B-17. The boys are definately enjoying themselves. Carly looks a little questionable. All in all we had a fun day at the airshow. We were able to also walk through a C-130 Hurricane Hunter. That means they take the airplane out in the middle of the hurricanes while they are out in the the ocean to measure size, windspeed, etc. That is one big plane! We saw lots of acrobatic flying, fast flying by F-15 or 16's (I can't remember). They also did a Tora Tora Tora which is a reenactment of Pearl Harbor and then a reenactment of 17 seconds over Tokyo. A fun filled day we won't soon forget!
