3 Hours and 50 grey hairs later

This past Saturday my husband and I took the family and his Mom to go see an air show at the Kennedy Space Center. It was completely awesome. At the beginning the announcer was inviting us all to sing the National Anthem and so we all joined in. My husband was video taping and we are all facing West where the center of activity was to take place. In the middle of the song and out of now where 2 F-16s came out of the East and scared the living daylights out of us. My mother-in-law jumped 5 feet into the air, aged 10 years and ducked for cover. I stood there and felt 50 brown hairs spontaniously turn grey. I'm not sure how my kids reacted as I was laughing so hard at my MIL lol. And talk about LOUD. You couldn't hear them coming but boy when they zoomed passed you you knew it. It was kind of a rush because there was so much power there. They had all kinds of different air planes doing incredible spins and dips and spirals but I have to say that the Blue Angels were my favorite. At one point the 3 planes that came out together were no more than 18 inches apart. Ummm, I don't think so. Then one of them did a low fly by that took us all by surprise. He had to have been going 800 miles per hour. It was so incredibly awesome. Such power and speed. I think I want one for Christmas. How much can those cost anyway? Yeah Right! To end this precious event my husband was taking one of our sons to the port o potty and my other son noticed that the interior lights of our SUV were blinking on and off. Hmm, I thought, not good. So I proceeded to try to turn the car over and nothing happened. The battery was dead. Between having the hatch up for 3 hours, having our camera plugged into the lighter, she was dead. Oh and we didn't have jumper cables. In my panic I asked the only person left next to us if they had jumper cables and they did thank goodness. Can you imagine being stuck out there lol. Anyway, I wish you could see the video we took but for now you will have to settle for pictures from our dying camera. It was really hard to capture good pictures as they were always moving so fast but I hope you enjoy them anyway.

You can click on the pictures to make them bigger and easier to see.

If you look closely in the background on either side of the white building, that's where they launch the space shuttle. They are kind of shadowed.

Look how low they are. Isn't it cool?

It was a wonderful outing but very tiring as you can see. We were all tuckered out. This one doesn't usually fall asleep in the car no matter what but we captured this rare moment.
Apparently the Blue Angels are going to be performing in 35 other cities so my advice to you is to check out if they will be near you and go see them. You won't be disappointed.
Have a great day my friends.
