The Spirit of St Louis Airshow


From the St Louis Edition



Steven, Danny and I went to the airshow 2 weeks ago.  It was a very popular event with LOTS of traffic.  It took us at least an hour to get in and to leave!  But it was worth it and lots of fun!

This plane is Patty!


Danny and I watching the airplanes.




The helicopters demonstrated a rescue mission.



This is Skip Stewart flying the biplane.  He did lots of stunts including cutting a string that was very close to the ground.






The Blue Angels!

This is Fat Albert, the cargo plane for the Blue Angels.  He can land and stop in 1500 ft!


The Blue Angels Solo Planes.

The Four flying in the famous diamond formation.








All 6 flying in formation!




One of my favorites: Steven with the Blue Angels!

They were very loud so we covered Danny's ear with our hand!
It was very warm and we were beginning to worry about Danny being in the sun too long, so we left before the airshow was completely done.  But we were able to watch the rest of it from the car!

   Thus saith the Lord, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: But let him that glories glory in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord which exercise loving kindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the Lord.  
Jeremiah 9:23-24

The Missouri Botanical Gardens

From the St. Louis Edition

April showers bring April flowers! Spring is in the air!  
Saturday, we visited the Missouri Botanical Gardens.

There were many gorgeous colors...


There were elegant blossoms...


Unique textures...


Odd names...

The mouse plant.

Beautiful landscapes...



Artsy walkways... 


Lizards...


and Waterfalls.


There was also "mommy time"...



And "daddy time"...


There were great places for pictures...





And great places for crawling...


There was the timer way of taking a family picture...


And there were friendly people to take it for us!


And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. 
Genesis 1:31a
