Stearman Week

This past week was the Stearman Fly-In at Galesburg airport.  Parker has gained a new love of planes and all week would say, "airpane, airpane" and take off running to the front window to see the all flying overhead.
On Labor Day, Grandma Vancil met us at the air port on a very blustery, cool, morning to see all of the airplanes.




We weren't too sure about the tram ride, but it was the only way to get out to see the stearman planes up close so we made him ride and once the tram was moving we did just fine! :) 

Bue, yewow, bue, airpane! 
Carson doesn't not currently share the same love of airplanes.  He was just happy to have a cozy napping location! 

Happy Labor Day! 
This 989 plane is the one that Travis got to ride in when he flew over Nielson school for their annual fly over. 


Love this shot! 

 
AIRPANES!!!!! 
AIRPLANES!!!


 
On Friday, in the rain, we went to the airshow.  It was really cool, even with the rain and I can't wait to go again next year with hopefully better weather.  Parker dug it too.  The best part was at the end of the show two fighter jets buzzed the airport.  Since Friday Parker has been talking about the Jets that go fast and high, and loud. 
Maybe we have a future pilot on our hands....
