Airshow Clif, Parker and Roger spent Sunday April 17 at the Coastal Carolina Airshow. The weather was perfect and they got to see lots of cool things including a performance by the Blue Angels, a sport bike show, wing walkers and lots of planes. Parker's highlight was seeing inside all of the different types of military aircraft. Clif said it was a true dad moment when he was inside a military transport without windows as the Blue Angels flew over!

When the airshow is in town the Blue Angels fly around stirring up the excitement. We were standing in front of the house when they went right over the driveway. Sky was very excited and kept pointing at the sky, waving and shouting "bye-bye"! The noise did not phase her.

Chef Barbie

Chef Barbie Anyone?
Well we bought Sky the stereotypical girl toy - a kitchen. She loves it - putting the food in the oven, microwave, stove.... As a modern kitchen it is quite entertaining and can recognize the different foods you use with it -- (broccoli, potatoes, rolls, turkey) via a smart chip embedded in the plastic. Parker enjoys playing kitchen with Sky too. He even wore the chef hat for a little bit - until he realized it said "Barbie" on it!
p.s. don't worry - Sky doesn't always cook in her "underwear"

Scooter Gal

Parker & his friend Max can spend hours scootering in the driveway. They've declared Sky their mascot. She does have to be careful when they are flying around. Last week she was hit in the head by a hockey stick. Luckily she is a tough cookie! The sunglasses are a new look she is trying out for summer.

Spring

I just love this picture of Sky.

Self Portrait

This is a self portrait Parker made in art class. It is displayed in the hall at his school.

Julia?

Sky - who usually rebels at wearing hats, decided she likes to wear Parker's hat. We think she looks like Julia Roberts going incognito...

Big Shoes & a Fort !!
We spent the weekend at Bald Head. Sunday we each found a sand dollar on the beach! As you can see Sky continues to enjoy wearing grown-up shoes. She can manouever quite well in them. She particularly likes Parker's shoes and Clif's running shoes. It has made locating our shoes a little more challenging as she abandons them at will. The bottom picture is a fort Clif made for Parker (who is inside the fort) - naturally Sky was obsessed with attacking the fort!
