On July 23th and 24th Dan and I had the show of a life time. The Navy Blue Angels came to Idaho Falls. We decided not to buy tickets but to watch from the house and see what we could see. Well, we had the "best seats in (at) the house". We set up our chairs in the shade of the red leaf maple tree and sat back to watch. I had a really hard time staying in my seat because those beautiful, stealer fast jets were circling our home and flying directly overhead. It was amazing. At times they were so low you could clearly read the US Navy on the underside of the wings. They proceeded with their program and we enjoyed every bit of it.
On Sunday we ate dinner in the backyard and finished quickly so we could go back into the front yard. It was as if they had planned their whole program around our front yard. Hal Monson, Tessha and Lucy joined us for the Sunday show. Like I said, it was the show of a life time. Here are a few pictures I took. There are also some from a friend who was on the Citizen's Patrol Watch that day.
At the end of the show we literally had a traffic jam on Washburn. It took over an hour for all the cars to clear out so we could get out of the driveway. Amazing!!Enjoy!!!

Didn't Mom do a wonderful job of taking pictures! I don't know what was more interesting. Watching them fly or watching Mom tring to take pictures of them with an electronic camera with a 1 second delay!
i love all your pictures. it looks like a lot of fun
How Fun. They were in Seattle this past weekend and I was going to take Preston, but I think they might have been a loud and scare him. Hopefully next year.
Preston would have enjoyed it very much if he was sitting on his grandma's lap under her tree eating Apricotes.
