It has been years since I have been able to see the Blue Angels! So this year, we went out of our way to make sure we went to Sea Fair. We had to take Q as well, because he LOVES airplanes! Anytime he hears a plane flying over head he stops what he is doing, looks up and points to it. He then continues to watch it until he cant see it anymore. So when there was going to be an entire show about planes, we knew he would have a blast!
We invited Eric's little sister Brianna, and my little brother Donald and sister in law Emma. We had so much fun!! We had gone out Friday night to find which park we wanted to go to, where to park and where we were going to sit for the show.
We decided on Mt. Baker Park, over by Coleman park. We got there around 11, even though the show didn't start till 1:45. It was a hot day so we planned on playing in the lake and making sure we got good seats. I think we did a great job!!
We tried to play in the water, but they kept seeing Lightening so we had to get out the lake. It was a bummer but better be safe then sorry.
We were there for the Hydroplane races, which was super fun to watch up close. The spray from those planes is taller then most boats! It was crazy! We also could watch some of the "warm up acts". They had a few acrobatic airplanes that did some crazy stunts! It was awesome to watch.
Finally the Blue Angels came out- we put on Q's headphones because we knew it could get loud. He didn't keep them on very long, but really like watching the planes!
Then one of the planes decided to do a flip right above our heads. He didn't have the headphones on. Uncle Donald was holding him and tried to use his hands to cover his ears, but at that point it was too late. Q was crying really hard. It was also past nap time, so he was just done. They did a flip one more time, but this time we had the head phones on, but he was still not having it.
After the Blue Angels, we didn't want to get stuck in traffic getting out, so we watched some more air shows and took Q for a walk. He quickly fell asleep.
We had SO much fun! And we cant wait till next year to do it again!!
