Our little engineer

Luke really enjoys trains, so we thought that the perfect Halloween costume would be a train engineer.  We took Luke to the caboose in nearby Acworth for a little photo shoot.  He loved it!! 

Anna's birthday

We celebrated Anna's birthday early.  It was the first time we saw Anna and Josh since they got back from China.  They gave the boys Chinese yo-yos and gave Luke a set of balls for part of his birthday present.  The boys had a lot of fun playing with their new toys.   

Rachel's Birthday

We went to Kentucky Dam Lake State Park to celebrate Rachel's 95th birthday.  We had a really good time visiting with all the aunts and uncles and cousins and just relaxing.  The weather was perfect for cooking out and walking around the park. 

Air Show!

For Part Two of our busy October, I had to work the Wings Over Atlanta Air Show and got to photograph a multitude of aircraft, including the Canadian Royal Air Force Snowbirds and the awesome US Navy Blue Angels.  On Sunday, I brought along Luke and Lisa so they could see the planes.

We got to walk through a C-5A Galaxy, one of the largest planes in the world. 

Watching the aerobatics!

Yes, I did this to Luke on purpose.  I thought it was cute to give him propeller ears in front of this USAF C-130H Hercules.

The USAF Thunderbirds had a demo F-16 Fighting Falcon there too, although they didn't fly. 

Luke was not a fan of the US Navy F/A-18E/F Super Hornet as it flew by.

The Royal Canadian Air Force Snowbirds were pretty good too. 

"Fat Albert" is a C-130H that supports the Blue Angels. 

 

The Blue Angels fly F-18 Hornets.  I got to fly with them for a media flight in the back of the plane in the foreground back in 2003.  I didn't get sick (came close, but I purposefully didn't eat that morning), but I did black out.
