This year we were on the ball! As opposed to last year when we made a last minute decision to go to see the Blue Angels (which resulted in us sitting in a whole lot of traffic and missing the show) our planning paid off this time around.
By the time we left for church this morning the picnic was packed and the car was filled with all the essentials to help us enjoy the show and beat the heat. We left right after the service and made it onto Mercer Island well before the crowds. We also easily found our friends "secret spot" that eluded us last year and found friends there as well.
The boys had a great time running around while waiting for the show to start and luckily we brought a ton of water and our friends had a shade tent as it was hot out! The boys were so excited to see and hear the planes fly overhead. Sam of course, our cautious one, was a little concerned about how loud the planes were but Cole was in his element. He shrieked with joy too many time to count and was shaking with excitement. He loved the roar of the Blue Angels while Sam preferred the quieter, low flying "Fat Albert."
After arriving home we immediately got out the sprinkler and cooled off - a great end to the afternoon!
