today...

Today was a beautiful day so we decided to pack a lunch and go to the library park. It's also the day before the Oregon International Airshow and the library park is right next to the Hillsboro Airport so we were hoping to see some interesting planes and/or jets come in. We did!

*note: these pictures we all from my wimpy 3G iPhone so not great quality at all.*

We chose to eat as close to the active runway as we could and were treated to lots of small planes, small helicopters, a red taildragger (my favorite!) and military jets.

Here we are on the hill watching planes take off.


Our view of the runway. We could see lots of tents set up for the airshow.


Me in my ugly shirt (as Grae likes to call it.)


A hill is made to roll down, right?


I have no idea who took this picture but it looks surreal.


We discovered some blackberry bushes and picked some.


They were good.




Then we found some sprinklers...




They played while I went to get some donut holes, smoothies and an iced coffee from the library.




Then we piled back into the van and spotted two military jets at the Hillsboro Airport. So exciting! I almost drove off the road staring but managed to not get into an accident.

I'm hoping to attend the Airshow on Saturday but found out it will be hot. I don't do well in the heat but I might try it to get close to some of those planes!

*Update: I just bought tickets for Maddie and I to go to the Airshow!!!! If I pass out from the heat, hopefully a uniformed Air Force guy will catch me :) *
