Semper Fi Over the North Carolina Sky: Air Show

We had a great time at the air show. The first year we were in NC we got here after the air show, and then last year Clayton was deployed and I went back to MI, but this year we were able to attend. It was a great day for it. There was a nice breeze which made the beating of the sun's rays bearable, and there were just enough clouds to create some shade every once in a while. Greyson did pretty well considering it was a long day (9:30am-4:00pm), hot day. When we got home we all took a cool shower and got ready to go out for dinner. That was nice as well. Greyson is such a good kid - we can take him anywhere! :)

He didn't like the LOUD jets.
