Blue Thunder

On Saturday my parents invited us to go to the Blue Angels airshow at the Idaho Falls airport. We had been watching them practice all week since we live so close to the airport, but we were excited to be able to go to the actual show. Michael was so excited to see the "big airplanes".

Before the actual show started, we were able to walk around and look at a bunch of airplanes on display. Fed Ex had their airplane there, so Michael wanted to get a picture with "Daddy's airplane". Mitch was actually helping at the show at the Fed Ex display.

And Kelli got her own set of "Fed Ex" wings.

Michael and Grandpa Walker. This was one of Michael's favorite planes.

Michael and Daddy. This is Michael's other favorite plane.

Michael got to "fly" one of the planes. He didn't want to get out.

Michael kept saying that he wanted his "own" plane, so Grandma and Grandpa bought him his own. We tried to get him to choose one of the bigger Blue Angels plane, but he insisted on a smaller one with teeth (like the ones in the pictures above). It is hard to see in this picture, but he is showing off his very own plane. This plane has not left his sight since. He even has slept with it every night!

Here are some of my favorite pictures we were able to take at the airshow.



It was pretty cool to be at the actual airshow on Saturday, but on Sunday we were able to enjoy the show again from our very own backyard. I wasn't able to get a picture (I tried), but one of the Blue Angels flew right through our backyard and over our house. We felt the breeze as it flew by. If it had been going slower we would have been able to see the pilot's face!! It was incredible! These are some pictures we took from our backyard.


This is our neighbor's roof!

This is number 6 landing. Those are our neighbor's trees!
It was an AMAZING show both on Saturday (thanks Dad and Mom) and on Sunday!

  1. Awesome pictures!! How did Kelli like the noise?? I felt so bad for Mason, he'd sleep until they'd fly really low and then he'd scream bloody murder while I covered his ears.
