The Tri-City Water Follies

This week we went to the Tri-City Water Follies. Its a big hydroplane boat race that they have every year. Mike helped direct parking so we got free tickets. It was really neat. They had the boat races and then an air show with a F-16 and a P 51 Mustang (a world war II fighter plane). I guess people come from all over the U.S to participate in it. This first picture is of one of the hydroplane races. It's rooster tail is huge and goes forever!

This is a picture of the planes flying together. They did a very nice memorative flight for the service men who are fighting in Iraq.
Joel is learning that flirting gets him something that no one else gets. Mike stopped and talked to one of the groups that had the boats to find out how they worked. While Mike chatted, Joel flirted. One of the ladies there took Joel and told me to get out the camera. Joel was the only one that they knew of that got their picture taken on one of the boats.

I guess this is proof that you can find fun where ever you are!

Looks like fun! And don't you love how kids can get anything? It's one of the reasons I take my kids to things like that!
