Blue Angels

Today we took Grady to see the Blue Angels Homecoming show.  We got VIP passes to watch from the flight line, thanks to Jeremy's (Mikey's best friend) mom.  We were just about as close as you can get to the show.  They have tables and chairs set up in that area, along with free food, beer, wine, etc.  It really is a treat to be able to see the show from that angle.  It was a beautiful, clear day today and the weather was perfect for an air show.  Grady did not really like the loud noises, and he hated wearing his ear muffs.  Too bad he's too young to make the connection between the loud noise and the ear muffs!  He's also not feeling well, has a cold and now an eye infection, and to top it all off he didn't sleep well last night, so he was very tired today.  But, he was a trooper and did not fuss too much.  I think he'll enjoy it much more next year.  He did like watching the planes and waved as they flew by.  He was exhausted by the time we got to the car, fell asleep on the way home, and slept for another 2 hours when we got home.  He woke up 20 minutes before bedtime, so we're a little off schedule, but I've really tried to lighten up about the schedule.  A little.  Ok, maybe a tiny bit. 

Here are some pics from the day:

Took his headphones off and got scared by the noise!

Sleepy Head

The Blues

Covering his ears when a plane flew overhead on the way home! His eyes are red from his eye infection, and he's covered in milk. What a mess!

Overall, we had a great day.  We are all exhausted though!  Tomorrow we'll go to church and then spend the day at home relaxing. We have a very busy weekend next weekend because Grady is getting baptized on Sunday. Jenine and Phil are coming on Friday night, Samantha is coming on Sunday morning, Nancy and Cathy are coming on Sunday as well, and about 15 people are coming over for lunch after church.  I guess I'd better rest up this week!
