Yesterday, they were doing reconnaissance flights--pick landmarks, set lines, that kind of thing--and Eli was so excited. He'd cheer them each time they came by and watch them off into the distance. His enthusiasm was infectious, with people giggling while they watched him. We don't want him in a cast, but it did make the whole scene a bit more unique.
Today, we went back to watch the Blue Angels rehearse their snow. Eli was pretty excited watching the daredevil Red Baron, and even the c-130. Then came the Angels: Our first sight was four of them in a diamond formation, streaking towards us, then hitting a hard bank turn before shooting up....with their jets pointed directly at us. Well, that made Eli cry a little. I can't blame him; I think a couple of fillings are loose now. But after that rough start, Eli settled in. The only other scary moment was when a lone jet going as fast as they're allowed to go, flew overhead and startled Eli to death. Ok me too--hey, at those speeds they practically sneak up on you without a sound.
