RI Air Show

This weekend we went to the air show at the Rhode Island National Guard base. I thought since it was Rhode Island maybe it wouldn't be as crowded as other air shows I've been to, but I was wrong. Still crowded. The Blue Angels were there and the Canadian Snowbirds. Luckily it was a clear sunny (but not too hot) day, so the air show was a success.

Here's Matthew sitting in the huge bay of a C-5.

This picture didn't turn out great, but we could see the water out the front of the aircraft.

Matthew was too excited to pose for pictures.

His favorite thing of the day seemed to be sitting inside this helicopter.

He liked checking out the different humvees too. Matthew loves anything of the vehicle variety.

Anna looks wistfully at all the activity.

I tried to take a picture of us with the one of the Blue Angel planes in the background.
Didn't work out so well. You can sort of see it between our heads. :)

We had to get a couple of Del's frozen lemonades - a RI specialty. They were good. Here's Anna, wearing her air show earplugs and stealing some of my lemonade. We all had fun!
