Olympia Airshow

On June 14th, Ryan's parents came into town and we went to the local airshow. Our friends, The Cammack's came too and we were all having a great time enjoying snowcones, kettle corn, and watching the airplanes do their tricks. Connor especially loved the helicopter that had an old car attached to a hook at the end of a rope, and it dropped it into the empty airfield, and of course the car got all banged up. The fun unfortunately came to an end when an F-18 fighter jet came in to do some tricks. Connor has always been sensitive to loud noises, and we came prepared with earplugs for him, but this jet was too much for his sensitive little ears, and he couldn't take it. Grandpa quickly rescued him and took him into the hangar, where the rest of us met them and we left. The saddest part of the whole thing is that, he is afraid almost every time we go outside now, of hearing a loud jet. He covers his ears anytime he hears or sees any airplane, even if it is not loud at all. Poor thing. Then there is Sadie...who wasn't even phased by the F-18 at all. It's amazing how different the two of them are!
