The Base

We live super close to March Air Force Base and daily see and hear huge planes fly over our house. In the four years of living "just down the street" from the base, we had never once visited the museum or toured the 80+ planes up close. Last week we had a beach day all planned but when we walked outside and realized we needed sweatshirts and pants, we made it an airplane day instead. This was definitely an "everything boy" kind of day! Isaac loved the little jet and told us that he was going to fly to Mummu and Iso's house and that he was going all by himself! Shaun loved reading all the stories about the men of war and the variety of guns they got to use! I just found a seat wherever I could because Parker was taking his morning nap in the pouch and my back was killing me! It was either wear him or lift Isaac up and down every two seconds.

One plane (or maybe it was a jet) that impressed me the most once flew from LA to London in less than four hours! Insane! Every plane had an amazing story to tell but there just isn't enough time to stop and read when you have a two year old that would rather throw rocks and kill ants. Maybe when he's older we'll go back...

Isaac would have loved to bring this home!

Parker finally woke up and got to take a ride in the jet too!

Our souvenirs! Name signs for their bedroom door! Can you believe they had Parker's name? I wasn't about to buy a plastic plane for $10 when I could get the same one at Target for $2.

We went to the museum at the perfect time 'cause this weekend was the air show. On Saturday, the boys and I parked the truck near the base and sat in the back with snacks. We got to see all the planes twisting and doing crazy tricks! Parker didn't seem to care and after a while Isaac noticed the big field we were parked next to and just wanted to throw rocks! Boys will be boys!

Can you tell I'm obsessed with collages? They are perfect for people that take a lot of pictures and don't feel like downloading each one individually to the blog! Don't forget to click on it to make the pictures bigger! :)
