2011 Sun n' Fun Fly In

A few, few, few weeks ago we went with the Wygant family to the annual "Sun 'n Fun Fly-In" at the Lakeland Airport. It's known to be the busiest airport during the week that it lasts! So we went to the AMAZING night show, which was the best we've ever seen! Those of you Floridians who haven't been, should Definitely go next year!!



The fun of Flight!

Jonny being as normal as he knows how to be.

Lem in her new glider she got while we were there;)


Twue Wuv!





Random Mary, being......Random...
Mrs. Wygant and the CUTEST baby on earth! (Jillian)


Hey kid!

WOW!!! Can I ride?

The night lights:)


They light up two balloons, and every once in awhile there would be a big gust of fire that would light everything up. Pretty neat...
Oliver and his sweet ride...


These pilots were REALLY good!



Hector the Helicopter and his flaming engine;)

As you can see, they attached a flag to the copter and he spun around in circles while shooting out fireworks through the engine. (It was one of the best parts of the show!)


Now this..... Was the best part of the show!

At the end of all the planes, they set of this HUGE barrel of fuel which actually shook the ground, and everything on the ground! Then they began the Firework show.... And boy did they ever! The whole thing was about thirty minutes long and it ALL looked like a grand finally... The whole thing! Off and on they would set off another barrel of fuel... It was so incredible!

So At the very end when you "thought" it was all over... They light off the whole runway... We could literally Feel the heat coming off of it, it was so big!

-BALLOON SHOW-

The next morning (early) Me, Lem, and Airs drove out to the airfield where about 30 Hot air balloons took off:) It was allot of fun!

Unfortunately, we didn't quite get there on time (whats new) So we didn't see them all take off from the ground at the same time... But we did catch them in the air. And saw a few here and there, go up.
Wouldn't that be neat to wake up one morning


with about forty balloons flying over your house?


Fifty balloons soaring away.

(Don't these captions stink?)

Innocent by-standers, "Stopping for aircraft."

There's the slow one...

CRASH! It actually did looked pretty scary:/

Okay, Yes this "fence" believe it or not has a GREAT part in this post! Everywhere you go, there this fence will be. So I figured it shouldn't be left out. So there it is folks, a close up of the amazing chain link fence.


And that's it for today... Hope you can come back soon:)
