Air Show

We spent most of the day at the Grand Forks Air Force base air show.  The big attraction was the Thunderbirds.  The last air show was 4 yrs. ago and it was very hot.  It was supposed to be warm today, but we got some rain overnight, so that cooled it down.  It was also very windy.  We decided not to go as early to the show as we did last time since we have seen it before.  That was probably a mistake.  It took about 2 hrs. to get from the highway to the actual air show area.  Thankfully we could see alot of the air show while we were driving and waiting in line for the bus.  The air show itself was fun.  Wish the weather wasn't so windy.  After the show was over, we walked to the tahoe (over a mile) and then waited.  And waited, and waited, and waited some more.  We actually didn't move from our parking space for almost an hour.  It was the worst parking mess I have ever been in.  It took over 2 hrs. to leave the base from the time we left the air show area.  Thankfully Mikayla had a book and the rest of us had a Brian's cell phone with a game on it.  Definitely needed some better planning.  Guess we had some good family in the tahoe bonding time.
