KC Airshow

Both boys were very excited to go to the Air Show. For Eli it was a nervous excitement. We parked at Briarcliff and took a nice Arrow Bus to the downtown airport. Eli was nervously talking nonstop. As providence would dictate, we arrived at the airport just as the US Navy F18 was taking off. What amazing power and noise! Eli was terrified. He was so excited but in that split second he was ready to be as far away from that place as he could get. My Mom graciously bought him some head phones and he wore those along with the ear plugs we brought with us for the entire 3 hours we were there. They seemed to help. Isaac was upset but mainly, I think, to see how Eli was so distraught. After the F18 things quieted down and everyone had a good time.
