On Friday we went to Oshkosh for the world renown EAA Air Venture 2011! It was amazing! What is air venture? It's "The World's Greatest Aviation Celebration" composed of thousands and thousands of every type of air craft from around the world! Now, I have never been super into planes, but this event is awesome and I love going! They have everything from ultra light little air craft, war birds, actual air craft from WWII and everything in between! People from all around the world gather every year and it is truly an experience. I don't really know where to even begin describing in detail, and seeing as a picture is worth a thousand words... I'll share some of hubby's and my favorite photos.
I will say this, it was hot. Miserably, miserably hot. It felt as if someone had a 10 pound cotton sweater, boiled it in water then you put it on on a hot summer day before going outside. It was hot. I am surprised how well the girls did. We probably applied and reapplied spf 60 sunscreen 6 times on them, almost always had them in the shade and fed them many strawberry and banana smoothies. (In addition of course to lots of water!) They, like hubby and I, were so exhausted at the end of it all, but it was loads of fun and I would do it again in a heart beat!
My Dad and the little Ellie Belly. :)
Didi with the American flag, in honor of our Veterans.
Ellie was crying while in the stroller so hubby picked her, she just melted in his arms. Sweet baby girl! She is a daddy's girl through and through. :)
That had a group of woman jumpers. These are just two of the photos of them parachuting down, it was so awesome. :)
A few very friendly, but a little odd, men dressed up in some vintage flight suits. Great photo op! I asked to take their picture and they were more than delighted!
They then asked me to jump in the photo and the middle man handed me his book, then asked me to pretend I was teaching them how to fly. Yes... very goofy.
One of my favorite photos!
This is probably my most favorite photo! Daniel both took this and did the post process work. :)
Another one of my favorites, that hubby took :) I feel so bad that I don't remember the names of all (or any, really) of all the many WWII planes that flew. But they really were all breathtaking.
The sad result of being in the sun for a couple of hours. I put on sunscreen, but you can see where I tried to reapply it myself. OUCH!!!! (not photoshoped, I might add.
I have to get off the computer and spend some time with my honey now....I have been to long on the computer! Have a great weekend everyone! :)
