Wendover! Slots, Poker, Blackjack?

Ya Right! We went for the Wendover Air Show! It was so much fun. A bunch of people from our Ward in West Valley all got together and went to the Air Show. The planes were really cool. Then we went on a tour of the old Air Base. Very interesting.

The girls loved being around all the planes.




Jesi & friend Amelia




Amberlee




While at the show we ran into our old neighbor and friend Alexa. Jesi was so excited to see her.







The Marines






The US Air Force


We sat by the staging area, so we got to see the planes start up and taxi out to the runway. That was cool.






This plane ended the show by flying about 100 yards above the crowd. It was so LOUD!


These are the planes that fly by our house daily. The kids were used to the loud so it didn't scare them like some of the other kids.




The Whirlybirds taking off after the show.




After the show we went on a tour of the base in the back of an Army Truck. That was fun. The movement put Sami to sleep.






Different planes were parked at the base for you to look at.




This plane was used in the movie ConAir! Independence Day and a few other movies were also filmed on this base.




This is used for machine gun practice. It is filled with sand. They hang a target up over the hole and fire away.



All in all it was a really fun day.
