When I think about the memories from growing up in a little town called Lompoc, California, one that comes to mind is the Air show at Vandenberg Airforce Base. It was one of the most amazing things I saw as a child and still to this day is just as beautiful. So, one of the perks of living on the West side of Phoenix is being able to see the Thunderbirds from our backyard. On Friday night we watched fireworks being shot out of the backend of a Mig. (I think that was what kind of a plane it was) That was so cool.
Then on Saturday we took the kids up to Luke Airforce Base for the show. I felt like a little girl again. The planes are so amazing, I can't imagine flying something so big and powerful. What amazing men and women the pilots are. Then the real treat came. The THUNDERBIRDS!!!
They are so beautiful to watch up in the sky. Eric, Emmalee, and Katie werejust glued to the sky the whole time. Watching the kids with eyes so big is so much fun. It is one of the joys of being a mom. We looked and looked for the Jobe family, but never saw them. Next year time we'll have to call and meet up with them.
Eric, Sarah and family came out and met us there. The cousins were so excited to see each other. It was fun to watch the 3 boys run around from plane to plane. Kurt took a video of the Thunderbirds flying over us. What a sight to see.
