Sunny Skies and the Blue Angels

Cool Elmo sunglasses

The Blue Angels come screaming overhead!

This Sunday we had fantastic weather for going out to watch the Blue Angels. We went over to a beach park and joined many others as we watched the Blue Angels perform across and around Lake Washington.

We didn't have a close view, as the planes come super low a few miles south where the hundreds of boats fill the water between Mercer Island and Seattle, but we could see all of their awesome stunts and hear the roar of the planes as they screamed across the sky. It's indeed very exciting to watch them perform!

There is a funny story behind the sunglasses Colin is wearing in the photo. You see we can never get him to wear his shades. Except for today! He put them on as we drove to church (it was still grey and gloomy outside) and he wore his shades for over an hour in Sunday school. His teacher joked that he might have worn them up until the sunshine actually started coming out! And then he wore them again for the Blue Angels. So now the Elmo shades are cool to wear. Who knew?!
