Coweta County Fair and Airshow

Is it the hairbow that is making Nina look so concerned???
Last week we stopped in Atlanta for a couple of days on our way to Maryland. Thursday evening we went to the fair with Nona, Poppa, Melanie, Allie and Avery and the Thompson crew was there too. We had a lot of fun. Ethan, Allie and Gracie loved riding the rides together. I took Ethan on the double ferris wheel before we left and he liked it. We all had a great time together and this has become a great tradition. Make sure you check out Melanie's blog for more great pictures.

I've been meaning to post some pictures from the airshow. We all had a fabulous time - it was a gorgeous day (a little hot). FedEx was a corporate sponsor so they had several airplanes out for you to walk through - Ethan loved that. The Canadian Snowbirds flew and they were great. I had never seen them perform. Mark saw them from the road because he was stuck in traffic trying to get to the airshow. We walked around for awhile once Mark found us and saw some neat planes. Then we went and found Amy and Dave and their crew and hung out with them until the Blue Angels flew. They were right in front of where the Blue Angels parked, so we had a great view of the pre-flight activities and the taxi out to the runway. We were positioned in the best spot - right in front of the FedEx trailer that was their stage center...so everything they did was either right over our heads or right in front of us. The sneak attack (if you've seen them fly, you know what I'm talking about) was literally right over us and it was AWESOME! The Blue Angels are incredible and they always put on a great show. Somehow Ethan fell asleep about halfway through their show....not sure how that happened because it was so loud. We had a great time and hope to go again next year! Here are some pictures.

I have not been to a fair in a long time. Aren't they expensive?! Glad you got some good family time in.
