Um...a jet.  Don't remember which one.  ;)

 

Both the girls were fascinated by this one.  Bernoulli's principle in action!

 

 

Kaylee seeing the ball shoot up and move around in the air stream.

 

And Maggie too.  :)

Kaylee gives it a shot too.

 

This was neat-a hang gliding simulator

A plane came over and did skywriting over the campsite.  EAA (for Experimental Aircraft Association)

 

I think this one is self-explanatory.  ;)

 

This silhouette is Kaylee up on a very steep grass hill (Chuck's Hill) by our camp site.  Kids would go up to the top, sit on cardboard, and sled down it at a high rate of speed.  She did it too, and she had a BLAST.

 

Here she comes!

 

Kaylee & Jamie being goof-balls!

 

Now just ask me why these guys are standing on the roof of their camping trailer with a storm headed our way.  I dunno.

 

In fact, here comes the storm now.  This is our camp site, the public area of it anyway, where people ate, hung out, etc.

 

I just thought the storm looked pretty neat...
