The Blue Angels dazzled us with their tricks but before seeing them take flight, Max and Laney wanted to tour the Fed-Ex plane. It was a pretty impressive size. Max was confused about where the people sit if there are no seats!
I was asked to write an article on flight lessons through the lens of a first-person narrative and after this weekend's experience, I just might do that!
They really loved touring a US Navy plane. It smelled like gym shoes and was warm with people crammed in like sardines. But the kids jumped from seat to seat and it didn't even phase them.
Of course no event in Peoria is complete without the city's pride and joy: Caterpillar. Practically all of our friends have ties to CAT. The kids jumped all over the tractors.
Anywho, that's a quick re-cap of the weekend. My brain is too fried to write more--Jeff's calling me to bed. We're so beat from last night because a neighborhood kid was throwing large rocks at a home on our street and instigated a fight with the residents past midnight. I heard them shouting on and off all night because I left my bedroom window open to feel the breeze. Not tonight! The fan is roaring and I'm making sure the doors are locked! Bye for now!
