high, high, what a feeling to fly over mountains and forests and seas, and to go anywhere that I please...

while todd was away at guard duty, the kids and i hopped a shuttle and made our way to the jacksonville beach air show.



it was pretty awesome to see them out over the ocean.




like any good event, they had tons of food and games for children to beg for money for.
we decided to give the world's largest pinball game a go.

it was pretty cool. the guy running it was the one who built and designed it.

they kids were pretty excited with their prizes.
they are so my kids...picking the alien prizes.


there was a mural where people could give thanks and well wishes for our military.
eliza left a nice note.

this air craft snuck up on me and scared me.




after many festivals and events, the kids decided they were ready to try out this bouncy thing.
eliza was a little nervous waiting in line,

while her brother was cool and calm chatting it up with the girls.





asa even went for a few flips!















i never get tired of seeing the thunderbirds.
so amazing!
