AirShow & HuntClub Farms

We spent the last couple weekends checking out local "attractions".   Naval Air Station (NAS) Oceana put on an air show that we decided to take the kiddos to.  I don't have a lot of pictures from the air show, we decided to watch and not take pictures.  There were lots of "entertaining flights" and Adyson couldn't believe the helicopter that flew sideways and backwards.  Me either, this thing looked like someone had built it in their garage.  Yikes.  Next up were the "jumpers" which Adyson mistook for trash.  "Mommy, why is that airplane dropping trash out the back?" and then the shoots opened up and she could see that it was people.  Complete disbelief.  She just kept asking me "Why they jump out that airplane??"

Last up was the Blue Angels.  I was somewhat disappointed that "Fat Albert" didn't do a JATO (jet assisted take off) like last time I saw the Blue Angels (Nov 2005).  It didn't matter to the kids.  They LOVED it.  Even Cooper.  They both squeaked and squealed every time the jets flew by!!!

Oh, by the way... here are a "few" pics!!! LOL

Watching the "jumpers"

This kind of strikes me as a "Jonathon" look - I am gonna dig up some old pictures...

Fuzz in her mouth, weirdo.

Hiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!

Nice fang.

Hunt Club Farms was a blast.  It is basically a petting zoo, but you can go into all the enclosures and pet, feed, chase, torture, or whatever the animals all you want.  Adyson was surprisingly tame.  She did chase a few chickens, but she just fed and pet the rest of the animals just fine.

These little goats were overfed the day before and didn't want any of our food...

Nope, not hungry.

So we tried the sheep.  They were HUNGRY!!!

Even Ady's shirt looked good to them.

This guy.  He thought he was my new best friend... He was stinky.

Q and Coop - checking out the piggies

Crazy hair bird.

Peacock!

Looking at the cows and donkeys.

This is Thunder.  Ady's first pony ride.

She was a little unsure at first...

but she had a great time!!!

Cooper didn't get to ride, but we let him take a picture!

Jumpin!!!

C'mere CHICKEN!!!!

Check this guy out!

A lot of other kids were holding the chickens... Ady wanted a try, but after Quentin caught it for her, she wouldn't pick it up.  This is as close as she got.

"DUDE?!?!?!?! I want a chicken!!!"

"Awwwwwwe, MAN!!! I am NEVER big enough!!!"
