airshow

this weekend was the miramar airshow.  lucky for us, chris was off on friday so we packed up the girls and headed to base to beat the crowds and crazies. 
it was a great day together and anabelle rocked her ‘papa jacket’!

her phrases of the day were ‘jets too loud’ and ‘so bright’.  thankfully we brought along her hearing protection (which she also requested to wear at home on saturday and sunday when the blue angels were flying over – yep, we’re pretty lucky to be able to watch a good bit of their show from our porch!) and chris let her borrow his sunglasses.

i love this big girl!

carter made the outing too.

she has just starting to say ‘cheese’ for pictures.

don’t worry about those dark clouds in the background – they were just hanging around.  no storm.  it doesn’t really rain in san diego.  they just talk about it sometimes.

watching the golden knights jump team.

as we walked back towards chris’ hanger (which i forgot to mention – we managed to park right in front of.  barely even 20 steps to the entrance gate.  score!), chris and anabelle went to check out the fire rescue truck while emiliymae and i took a little milk break under the wing of an e-6 mercury (it’s big!).

then we took a trip to the squadron’s flight equipment shop to see chris’ locker and so anabelle could check out his helmet again.  plus it was on the way to the restrooms.

and the tour finished up with our first peek in papa’s office at VMFAT-101.

thanks muggy for the great date.  all of your girls are so super proud of you and what you do!
