July 4th Celebrations at Grand Haven!

Grand Haven, Michigan (by dad)

It is a long walk to get to this landmark


Mom and Dad enjoying the sunshine


The Coast Guard was out in full view (someone told them we were coming?)


A re-enactment of Colonial Days

 
Enjoy the reading of the Declaration of Independence by a Congressman


David bought a book by Bo to pass the time
(Michigan fans know who Bo is)


The fireworks were the best we had seen in a long time



The music, the fountain, and the fireworks in unison. 


What do you think?

Air Show

Dad and Susan went to The Battle Creek Air Show on Saturday. It was 95 degrees plus 100% humidity but well worth it! 

He looks like natural huh? :)


In the cockpit


Mr. Rogers (a man in our church) who is a Chief in the Navy gave us the tickets to go. This is his wife and younger son getting a taste of what it feels like to be a Blue Angel!


The start of the show!





This is a jet-fueled truck that went 350 mph! Amazing!


Our favorite was the national champion stunt pilot! (blue plane)





The blue plane came out again with this red plane and they put on a phenomenal show!


Wing walker


They also landed this plane on top of the moving RV


F15 pulling back in


Fat Albert


THE BLUE ANGELS

We had some extra tickets and were able to be a blessing to my dad's co worker and her family! This is her daughter, Casey! What a cutie...they loved it!


Breaking apart in perfect formation


We had alot of fun! It was so worth it!
