At the Airshow

Saturday, Paul and I took Clete to the Air Show. Well, it wasn't much of a show...it was rainy and foggy, so none of the planes left the ground. We did have lots of fun though! When we got to Auburn, they were making everyone park at Lakeview Baptist Church and ride a shuttle bus to the airport. Clete was not very excited about the bus ride! He kept saying over and over "I don't want to ride the bus! I'm scared!" I looked at Paul and said "What are we going to do?!?! He won't get on the bus!" Paul just picked Clete up and said "Come on Clete, were going to take the bus to see the airplanes." Clete grabbed on to Paul so tight and started saying "I'm not scared, I'm not scared, I'm not scared." It was so funny! Of course once we got on the bus he was fine and everyone got a good laugh as he was pointing out everything we were passing! "There's a playground! There's a slide! There's a tractor! Whoa that was a bump!" Once we got to the airport we enjoyed walking around looking at all the different planes. Clete would point out a plane and say "There's my plane!" or "There's my helicopter!" They had a couple of the helicopters open so you could get up in them. At the first one we came to I asked Clete if he wanted to sit in the helicopter and he said No he was scared. At the next helicopter he decided that he did want to sit in helicopter. When it got to be our turn, I put him up in the back seat and took his picture. When we told him it was time to come out, he jumped over the back seat in to the front and did not want to come out! Paul had to climb up in to the helicopter and get him out! My friend Tonya called right after this and said that she and Lennah were there, so we went to meet them. By this time we were pretty much frozen and I could tell that Clete was getting pretty tired of the whole air show thing. He kept saying that he wanted to slide. So we left the air show, and met Tonya, Lennah and Lennah's dad Paul at Chick-fil-A. We ate lunch and let Clete and Lennah Play in the indoor playground for a while. Clete finally got to his slide! They were having so much fun and did not want to leave when we said it was time to go. We all had such a fun, exciting day, I think we probably all went home and took long naps!
