Air Show

Airplanes are a big deal around here these days.  L. just loves everything about
planes, shuttles, helicopters.  For his birthday, we gave him a "certificate" 
to go to the air show this summer,  because the Blue Angels were coming.  
It was so fun!  
 
 All the kiddos with the Blue Angels lined up (pretty small :)) in the back.


 

 This is as close as we could get, and L. just had a ball waving to all the planes as they taxied in and out.





 It was extremely hot, so we spent lots of time under the umbrella and drinking frozen gatorades!


 Probably wasn't supposed to be hanging on the planes...that's L. for you!


 

 To complete the birthday present, we got him this plane and he flew it all over the rest of the day.


 The show was fun, but the Blue Angels definitely made it amazing!  It is incredible what they do.


 


 
 Our favorite picture.


 

 


What a great day!

Summer Show

The girls had a great time performing in a show choir last week.  They've been rehearsing since May, and have absolutely loved being a part of this group!  This was their first time performing on stage, and they were a little nervous, but had a great time.

 Thanks to Grandma for making these great costumes for the opening number!  
They are Tinkerbell and Thumper (from Bambi).

 Tinkerbell in the middle :)


Thumper... in the middle.

Not a great picture, but this was their second song to "Dig A Little Deeper" from Princess and the Frog.




Hip Hop Number to Mickey Mouse March.  D. is in the middle (highest hand).



Mary Poppins medley with the whole cast.  #3 and #8 from the left.



D. is in the purple, middle, for the Princess Medley.



S. is Belle, with the white gloves, in the middle.



Song #6 was "The Bare Necessities" and S. is the parrot (blue and pink feathers) and D. is a lizard, right next to the parrot :).




The final number was "Circle of Life."  S. is on the floor, immediate left of the left microphone.  D. is standing immediate right of the left microphone.





What a great introduction to show biz and performing.  They loved it, and can't wait to participate again next summer!

Great job girls!!!  We love you.
