The Blue Angels!!!!!!!


Living in Pensacola has one cool thing and that is the blue angels! Pensacola is the home of the blue angels and therefore they practice here at least twice a week during the week. They then travel the country performing at air shows throughout the country. Well we live very close to the NAS and they practice over our house tuesdays and wednesday at 8:30 in the morning. It is extremely loud and they are literally over our house. Andrew LOVES the blue angels in-fact is obsessed with them, however he does not enjoy them 10 feet over our house and he says they are too loud!!! We can smell the jet fuel as they fly over it is a wild experience. Anyhow this morning I took some pictures of the practice session and I tried to get some video as well.





And yes we are still in our pjs at 8:30 in the morning so we watch in our jammies!

Wow! That's pretty cool. That clip of the one within arms reach was great! We live near where the Air Force Thunderbirds live and practice, and they fly over a lot during the day, but nowhere near as low as those Blue Angels. But I never get tired of it!

That's really awesome! They literally fly over your neighborhood? How fun! I am glad you are adjusting to FL. Kasen said Sydneys picture and said he missed her! Cute.

that is so cool that they practice right over your house like that. MAybe not if you were spending the rest of your lives there, but definately cool temporarily. Congrats again on being pregnant. I wonder what you'll have this time! I hope MIke's training is going well. I'm glad you're back to blogging again so we can keep up on your busy life! Take care.
