Celebrating Air Force Week!

Since I have a husband who loves airplanes and flying. We didn't miss out on this opportunity. Utah was one of three states selected by the Air Force to hold the annual celebration this year. There were so many things they did this week for it, so we decided to join the fun!
On Monday we were able to go to a Bee's Baseball game. I always love a good baseball game! We met up with my sister Camille, her husband and kids (who were so cute and excited as they were all decked out in their little league baseball attire). They had some special ceremonies before the game started with parachuters landing on the field. Then really a close and loud fly over. But unfortunately it started to rain in the fourth inning and we decided to head home so we wouldn't be soaked. The game kept on going and sadly we missed Mike catch a foul ball with his bare hands.

Then on Saturday they did an all-day air show at Hill Air Force Base. This definitely was my favorite! I loved seeing all the different airplanes, even some that Stephen has flown me in. Again, we met up with my sister and her family. Both her husband Mike and Stephen have a passion for airplanes. It was great to see them have so much fun. They both are truly kids at heart around all those big toys.
Watching those airplanes was awesome. It was amazing to watch the tricks and stunts that the different airplanes would do. It totally defied all the physics to flying. It was incredible!


At the end of the day they had the Thunderbirds perform. I was amazed at how close the F-16's would fly together, as they did flips and stunts in the air. They were sure loud and amazingly fast. They would shoot straight up almost 3 miles in the air, then flip around so fast. Then to top it all off they would fly upside-down, coming from opposite directions, heading right straight towards for each other. Just to pull out at the last minute nearly missing each other. They performed quite the show. We knew going up there it would be crowded, and sure enough it was. They said their was about 290,000 people in attendance just on Saturday. We had such a great time!
