sometimes being a military family and living in a military town has its perks... especially with the weather being so nice right now... we headed out to cherry point to see the airshow friday night show... we walked around and checked out some of the planes and helicopters they had out on display and climbed in a few. we got some awesomely bad for you fried chicken, funnel cake, corndog and fries to have for dinner.... followed by some ice cream. we sat and watched the show for a couple hours. it was really fun. daniel kept yelling out "airplane" as they flew by. the first guy was really neat... all sorts of crazy loops and dives, and rolls and stalls... really fun to watch him. then there was a wwII style plane that did some tricks for us and man it was pretty loud.... but really fun. then a team of jets... diamond something... but they were cool... once the sun was down we didn't stay too much longer... the last plane we saw was way too loud and hurting our ears and scaring daniel really bad so we left and watched the fireworks from our car in the parking lot... it was a great evening and free (except for the cost of food which was a lot)
the next day we got up (after sleeping in a little) and headed on base for MAYNIA!!! it was a free carnival. we had fun riding a few rides... and they had a bounce house area that daniel had a ball in. i was really proud of my timid little guy actually climbing up and going down some of these slides... and he's finally getting the hang of jumping. his favorite ride was this tiny motorcycle ride... it had a bunch of motorcycles that rode in a circle. there was never a line so he would just sit and ride time after time... so funny... at one point a little girl joined on the back of his motorcycle and i had to laugh... his little girlfriend riding around with him. we also went on the farris wheel as a family... not my favorite... apparently i have become more afraid of heights as ive gotten older. chris and daniel also had a really good time riding down this giant slide on a potato sack. they rode it at least twice.
it was a great weekend... and super exhausting. we ended this day with some panda express and naps.
