Airshow Fun

 We have been to one or two airshows, but this one was really a blast. Probably because the kids were old enough to enjoy it.
 My beautiful family.
 great static displays
 I spent the morning volunteering at a booth selling these toy planes, and when my kids showed up, they each had to have one.
 great aerial displays
 the day started out cold but turned out nice
