When Mom's Away...

I went out of town to St. Louis for a whole week and left my guys home. Brad was a great Mr. Mom (I was never even on isle 7!!) and Avery was a champ. They didnt just sit home and miss me, oh no. They were out adventurizing! Or as Avery says "a benture". Here are some photos of some of the things they have done recently. 

Avery and some modern art

Andrews Air Force Base Joint Services Air Show 2008

This one has teeth! (dont worry he was nice)

He was SOOOO excited to be there. He kept yelling, and I mean yelling, "AIRPLANE!! JET!!!" 

I love this picture taken out on the tarmac.  He loved the open space to just run.  There were alot of Military people there in uniform and Avery kept saying "Oh Hi" to them. Everyone was really nice and talked to him. 

He really liked this big "copter"

Avery showing off his jumping skills.  He was so excited he just kept jumping and skipping

In a Coast Guard Helicopter. The pilots were so nice, they were trying to make him laugh!

Highlights of the show were the helicopter that did backflips! Helicopters arent supposed to be able to do that! And my favorite the F-22 RAPTOR.  Coincidentally Avery was wearing a shirt that said RAPTOR on it.  The plane is seriously the coolest thing every created.  It did a slow fly by, crazy, then it like hovered almost, and then it would do the fast fly by.  It is amazing. I could keep going on and on about all the cool stuff we saw.  I felt very patriotic.  It was a really great trip and fun to show Avery some of our countries finest!
