This morning we headed off to the Air Show on the Air Station. Little Monkey was excited as he has watched the Blue Angels, or as he calls them "the angels", fly over our house most of the week.
Little Monkey climbed the rock wall and did really well. He had fun touring a C12 and jumping in a bouncy. The rest of the time we watched the air show and sweated! The weather said it was to be cool this weekend so Daddy and Little Monkey were in jeans and thankfully I had them wear short sleeves under their long sleeves so they didn't fry. But none of us could keep enough water in us.
At the end of the show was the Blue Angels performance. When they were getting ready to do their ending we noticed a big cloud of smoke in the tree line. We knew that a plane had gone down before they even said anything. The Blue Angels finished and then everyone went to his rescue. His plane ended up going down not to far from our house. It took us over an hour to get 3miles from the Air Station to Base Housing. We almost thought that we wouldn't get to go home because they were looking the Bases down. But we got here! Of course we had a million messages and a million people to call because everyone back home new we were at the show and that our house was near the crash sight. So we had to assure everyone we were ok.
Our hearts and prayers go out to the Blue Angels and the family of the Pilot!
