Last weekend was the Shaw Air Expo and one of the main attractions was the Air Force Thunderbirds.
A few days before the actual air show, the Thunderbirds started practicing their routine. A different part each day, but never the whole performance at once. So while I waited in the car rider pick up line to get Emma from school, I got to watch them practice.

One afternoon Emma and I had to run to the commissary to grab a few groceries and we got to see another part of their practice.

By the time Saturday rolled around and it was time for the actual full Thunderbirds show, I felt like I had already seen the whole thing. But I didn't mind. No matter how many times we have gotten to see the US Air Force Thunderbirds perform, it is always a breathtaking, heart stopping, pride inducing performance and I enjoy getting to see the whole show from beginning to end.

I want to thank Katherine over at
Grass Stains for being one of the people to encourage me to start a blog and suggested that the Thunderbirds would be a cool post. I may just start calling her my blog mentor until I get the hang of this. She explains how we "met"
here , and it has been really fun getting to "know" her over twitter and through her blog. Head on over, she has got a great sense of humor and four super cute kids!
