Not Your Typical Saturday

This weekend was the Alliance Airshow. The Alliance Airport is only a few miles from our house so we've been able to hear the planes practicing. We decided to check it out close up.

Preston found a helicopter in his favorite color.


Kaitlyn also found a helicopter in her favorite color.

Here are the Suburban Kelley's in front of an old fashioned fire truck.

We actually got to go inside this "big fat" airplane (Kaitlyn's words). It's a plane used during military operations.

Preston and Craig went into the cockpit.

I loved this plane with the picture of the sexy woman on the side. The inscription said "Hard" To Get. It was very reminiscent of the 1940's.

Here are three planes joining forces in the sky.

The kids loved seeing the smoke trails.

We went straight from the airshow to a friends birthday party at a park. There was a bounce house, a playground, and ducks to feed. The kids were so tired by the end of the party. The theme for the party was a "carnival" and they got the Groucho Marx glasses in their goody boxes. Preston fell asleep with his glasses on.

Kaitlyn just fell asleep with her hair all over her face.

Then we came home to carve our pumpkin. Well, Craig carved the pumpkin and I picked out the design.

Here is the finish design-a skull and crossbones pirate!

It was a super tiring, super busy, yet fun day. We were blessed to have Craig spend a Saturday with us to join in the fun. Stay tuned for our next post, our Wizard of Oz party!
