Oregon Air Show

 One of the mixed blessings about where we live is the annual Oregon Air Show at the Hillsboro Airport.  On the plus side, we can see most of it from our front yard (can't see anything on the ground.) On the negative side, it is loud for several days, and with a child who is scared of the big jets, this is not fun.

This year, we invited my extended family over to watch the air show and celebrate my birthday.  Unfortunately my nephew Army Man got sick, and so it was just my parents and us. Emma was bummed that her cousins were not there, but she loves Grandma Sally and Grandpa so much that she was excited to play with them.

So this years air show was on the hottest day of the year (102 degrees.) We had a good shade cover, but we were so hot.  At one point we let Emma run through the sprinkler, which helped to cool all of us down some. She even got to the point where she was cold, and had us turn it off. 

Hard to tell here, but the planes made a heart shape up there.  Most of our plane shots are too big to post on here.

The big attraction this year were the Thunderbirds ( or as Emma says, the "Underbirds").  This is how Emma enjoyed the Thunderbirds!  She was done with watching planes, and thought that they were too loud and scary.  Grandma ended up going in with her and playing little people.

We had a good day visiting with my parents and watching the planes.  And it was really nice to go into the air conditioned house after it was all done!
