Airshow

We went to the Airshow at Tinker today.  Jackson has been soooo excited all week!  He loves any vehicle, and has been playing with his airplanes a lot this week, to get ready for the airshow.  He woke up this morning and got dressed immediately (which he NEVER does.)  He chose his camouflage shirt "because it is what the soldiers in the airforce wear."  He also chose a hat to wear to the airshow.  The one he chose was his #88 Dale Earnhart, Jr NASCAR hat.  I didn't realize until we got to Tinker that it was, specifically, the Air National Guard hat.  This boy doesn't miss a THING!!!

Check out his salute.  I LOVE when he does that.  He picked this up all on his own over two years ago and is very respectful of military, the flag, patriotic holidays, etc.

Uncle Jeremy's plane.  Jackson was so pumped to be able to see it, stand by it, inspect it.  You can't tell, but he is continuously making plane noises while looking at the plane!

Sitting in Uncle Jeremy's seat.  He was "flying the plane" and "bringing it in for a landing" ("it's gonna be a bumpy ride, folks")

Well, Jackson and I had a wonderful time.  It was hot.  Super hot.  But, Jack didn't even seem to notice.  (I did.)  Anyway, I mentioned to Grandma later on that they should consider moving the airshow to October.  It would be much cooler then.  She said "well, I kind of think it's a Father's Day kind of thing."  Oh.  Hadn't thought of that.  But, now that I consider it, Jackson and Chris would have had a BLAST.  Even more fun that I had.  So, I feel a little sad that Jackson missed that opportunity with his Daddy, but I am also glad that we had the opportunity together, and am grateful to Uncle Jeremy who took us with him on Father's Day weekend when he was showing his own son "his plane"...

Happy Father's Day, we love you Daddy!  And PaPa.  And Grandpa.  And Uncle Jeremy.  And Uncle Jason.  Thanks for stepping in for us cause Daddy can't!!
