Home sweet home for the week...
|
Kaylee has decided she likes her bed.
|
The guys setting up the overhangs for our shade for the week
|
And BOY did we need that shade, too!
|
What's the first thing on the agenda? For kids to climb The
Hill, of course.
|
Gwenie points out the "No sliding down hill" sign.
|
So they didn't--the walked up and down it all day.
|
Our campsite almost all the way set up, banner and all.
|
It was super hot and windy, so the kids took umbrellas up on
the hill for shade. The wind made it sporting. ;)
|
By the next day the "No sliding" sign was gone and a security guy
told the kids they could slide if they were careful.
|
So this is Kaylee taking Gwenie on her first ever hill ride.
|
They both look a little freaked out here, but both jumped up
laughing.
|
Later was a stop at Ardy & Ed's for cool drinks and to try to
watch a Bonanza formation fly-in. They went to another runway so we
couldn't see them. Oh well...
|
Time to fly kites...
|
You can no longer say "we brought everything but the kitchen
sink." Because we DID bring a kitchen sink this year, and the
guys just finished hooking it all up to a large water tank. Success.
;)
|
Doug & Doug setting up their tent while Stormy supervises.
|
Sitting and resting a bit
|
Four evenly-spaced kids climbing up the hill, which has lost a
bit more grass now.
|
Slightly manic-looking smile.
|
AE & Tre chat
|
Sunset trip up for more.
|
Our campsite from the top of the hill.
|
On the hill...
|
A snapshot of the campground from the hill
|
Gwenie's solo trip down the hill backwards
|
I'd say it was a success. :)
|
Back up for more. You can't say enough about the exercise this
provides. ;)
|
My girl
|
Four folks, one piece of carboard, let's see how this goes...
|
Pretty well, I'd say, that's a lot of laughing. ;)
|
Checkertail--may not be ours, but it's pretty anyway.
|
Steve explains to Kaylee the history of the FW-109
|
One Big Bomb.
|
You have to have some ice cream each day, right?
|
Some random guy sits on the hill and watches the air show under
an umbrella with a drink in hand.
|
Aeroshell Team--my favorites as always.
|
This was a gorgeous sky, too. These airshow photos I'm posting
are almost all pretty much untouched for coloring.

|
Matt Younkin in his Twin Beech. This is the airplane he flew
his sister Amanda across the country to bring her home to bury her
after her wingwalking fire accident.

Our too-often-topless neighbor with his "Stick and Rudder"
license plate.

Watching the air show as usual.
