Blue Angels

The Blue Angels U.S. Navy air team was in St. George over the weekend. They only do about 30 of these shows around the world per year and they have hundreds of applicants, so it was a pretty big thing for St. George. They figured there would be about 30,000 people attending many traveling to see it from far away places. We thought about buying tickets but in the end decided just to drive out to one of the gravel pits by Landon's work that is right by the airport to watch. Some of my family came out and we had a little picnic. The kids enjoyed playing on the dirt piles as much as anything. We couldn't see everything going on for the first half, which was some older WWII planes and stuff, but once the blue angels took to the sky we could see everything they were doing. It was pretty awesome to see. They preformed for about an hour straight and the kids were enthralled the whole time they were in the air.
