We normally have a hot air balloon festival in Jamestown on the first weekend in August. This year, they decided to combine the balloon festival with an air show, which was a good idea since thunderstorms swept the area and prevented the balloons from launching!
We tried going on Saturday, but the clouds in the sky told us we wouldn't have a long visit. We did get to see the C-130 parked in the field. Matthew remarked, "I get big. I fly airplane." It definitely made an impression on him! Nolan, who normally has a fear of strangers (read: screaming at the top of his lungs until Mommy rescues him), was rather attached to one of the crew on the big jet. He wouldn't come back to me!
The rain started pouring so we ended up going back home, with a stop at the local ice cream shack on the way. We went back the next day, watched a few acrobatic pilots, and had some pizza and fries (such a nutritious dinner)! I loved watching the boys' eyes grow wide with excitement and wonder with the planes swooping over our heads.
