Happy Father's Day to all you fathers.
We got to go as a family today to the "Wings Over Waukesha" airshow. Joshua has been enjoying pointing out airplanes and I also enjoy planes so we thought it would be a fun endeavor...
Joshua was able to sit inside the "Flight for Life" helicopter...
We also saw this P-51 Mustang land and park. The P-51 is one of my favorite old military aircraft so I thought it was really cool to see one up close...
They had a B-17 Bomber at the show as well. For only $400 a person you could take a ride in it! While I would have loved to take a ride we didn't think it to wise at this point in life :o) They were offering tours of the plane for $5 a person, which I would have done, but they were not doing that till afternoon...
Another shot of the B-17...
I believe this is the first airplane that Joshua has seen up close and personal. He is incredibly observative and constantly pointing out airplanes in the sky, even when they are jetliners that are REALLY high in the sky. It amazes me that he sees them and recognizes them as planes...
Here is a Blackhawk Helicopter that we were able to look inside and saw it taking off as we were heading home...
I was walking around I was thinking that I would like to spend more time at each airplane (Having a two year old keeps you moving). Elissa suggested that I could come back later, but I am realizing that life is better doing it with other people. I was very glad to be there with my family! It wouldn't have been the same without them!
