Aviation Nation

Becky and her family came down for the Nellis Air Force Base air show, Aviation Nation. I wisely decided to stay home with Penelope for a few reasons: 1. Penelope does not like jet noise - for about two months after we first moved here she would cry every time a jet flew over our house, 2. She is pretty much potty trained but the traffic delays and port-a-potties would have been a challenge, and 3. I have to pee every 30 minutes too and I'm grouchy.

So, the rest of the gang headed over to Nellis where they encountered major traffic jams. It took over one hour to drive less than one mile on the 215 while they waited to merge onto the 15. I give them credit for not just coming right back home.

Here are some of the photos from the afternoon  - the kids had fun, and I think they won't remember the crazy logistics it took to get there. That's why Matt has such good memories of air shows as a kid - they only remember the fun parts. :) Thanks for being troopers everyone! And Happy Veteran's Day!
