On Friday September 28th I took the kids to the Air Show down at the Rickenbacker International Airport. I think I had a better time than they did. But it was nice anyway. The weather was beautiful and the kids got to see something that they will not get to see again until they are at least ten or eleven, maybe even older. Here are some cool pictures from the show. They had nearly 100 Mustangs are expected to attend along with 51 Legends who were an array of Aces, crew chiefs, WASP's and others who were part of the P-51 family. An F-15 Eagle and and F-16 Viper. You'll see one of these toward the end of this post. I blew up one of my pictures so you could have a close up look. Anyway, I loved it, but we only stayed about two hours because the sun was bright, the kids were bored and the F-16 was too loud. Those were the reason's I got from Jackson as to why we needed to leave. Anyway, here you go, some neat pictures for you to enjoy!
Look, they were all upside down!!!
These next pictures are of the kids with the Mustangs that were just parked. Aurora wouldn't walk up and stand next to one, so I put her in the stroller and that way she didn't have a choice! As you can see, this one is based out of Cincinnati. I asked Auri where the airplane was and she pointed, but she wasn't happy about it.
This Airplane was pretty cool. It flew alone, but the most facinating thing about it was that the person flying it is the only woman to be recognized and awarded in competition for her flying of one of these classic mustangs.
Look at Auri's face! Yes, she is crying, she wanted nothing of being close to these airplanes. She loves to look at Airplanes from inside the car, but I guess she is too small to want to be that close. I had Jackson hold her there so I could at least have a picture of her with one. This plane was probably my favorite as far as the paint job. Of course, there is the horse on the fin, but also it was a really pretty green color and it looked really crisp in it colors.
I like this picture because I was taking pictures of the planes on the ground and I saw that the F-15 was about to pass, so I snapped a picture of it in the distance.

This was Jackson's favorite (of the little planes) to look at. I don't know why, he didn't tell me, but he did tell me that it was his favorite, so I got a picture of him under it's wing.
Okay, these next two pictures are funny (to me at least). I noticed that Jackson was trying to reach the bottom of the wing of this plane, so I quick took pictures of him winding up and then one of him in mid air in an attemp to reach the wing. He did touch it, Good Job Jackson!!!
I think that the best time Jackson had was touching the planes, and the owners of them were really great in letting him too. He loved it!
Yes, he is winking, what a little ham!!!
The third picture in this series is a decription of this airplane. I would suggest that you blow it up and read it.
These are the pictures I got of the F-16 Viper. It was amazing to me. It went so fast. It would come in really fast and you would hear nothing and then about a second after it would pass you, there was this amazingly loud burst of noise that followed him.
These two mustangs were about to take off when we were walking to the car. Pretty neat!
While we were at the car, one of the Mustangs in the previous two pictures was flying side by side with the F-16. What an amazing site!
Well, it is time for me to go to work, so I hope you have enjoyed these pictures and I will post more soon! Have a wonderful day!!!

After we checked into the hotel, we went to My Grandparent's house. Shortly after we got there my cousin Katie got there and took Jackson for a walk down the path along the side of a corn field behind their house. I decided that I would take Auri out there too and took some pictures. The pictures of Jackson with Katie were blurry, so I didn't put them up, but here a really cute one of Aurora running back to me after wandering down the path a little bit.
Once we met with Katie and Jackson, she and I walked together and Aurora joined Jackson. This is one of MANY adorable pictures of the two of them walking the path together.
Jackson showing me a cob of corn on the stock.
Katie took this picture of us, we were looking at some little apples on this tree. I was trying to get Auri to grab one, but she just kept pulling away from them.
This is my cousin Michael (Katie's brother) He and I are only about three and a half weeks apart in age. That is his new truck that Auri is sitting on. I guess I'd rather be on a Chevy than in it.
Okay, can you get any better than this? I can't even tell you how many times they kissed while we were there. I hope Aaron and I are still in love when we are 83 and 78!! Oh yeah, Grandpa's birthday was the next day, so we were about to have a little party for him!
This was Tuesday (Grandpa's birthday). We stopped at Grandma and Grandpa's before heading back to Ohio. This was one of the gadgets that Grandma had for the kids to enjoy. The bird chirped and moved, they watched it for quite a while.
This one is a picture of Aurora talking to Grandpa. She wasn't sure of him at first, but by the time we came home, she was fine with him. 
Saying good bye to Great Grandma. I didn't get pictures of Jackson hugging his great-grandparents because he went too fast, but Auri took her time. And as you can see Mimi helped her so Grandma wouldn't have to bend down.
The hug for Great Grandpa!
This is after we got home. Aaron's dad's birthday was on August 10th and instead of getting him a card we decided to make these posters to put on his door and surprise him when he got home from work. The one on top I did, and Jackson did the one on the bottom (all by himself) and then the next picture is one that I did for the inside door so that when he opened the screen door he could be surprised again with yet another poster. It was a success!!!
Okay, the last picture for today. Jackson and Aurora and I went to Kiki's house after posting the signs on "Grandpa's" door (that is what Jackson has decided to call Chet, Aaron's dad). Anyway, it was bedtime for Isaiah and Isaac so we all went to pray with them before bed. This is the best picture I got of them. It was adorable to see them all praying at the same time.
