Ten Dollar Dates: Park & Airshow

So my husband works at an airline and he loves airplanes. We are talking kid at a candy store loves airplanes. He can identify any plane in the sky and knows all about them and thinks he wants to learn to fly them (i'm not so stoked about this idea). So the other weekend there was an airshow in town. Of course Bryce would have died to go, but the cheapest ticket was $50.00. But!!!! There is a great park in our area that has an awesome, clear view of the skies above the airport.

We looked forward to it for a week. On the big day we packed up our blankets and some toys for Luke and then we swung by the drive thru (McDonalds, since it was a Bryce day :) and went for a picnic at the park. We ate and talked and laughed and played and read books and watched the air show at the park.

It was one of those blissful, idyllic days that you wish was ordinary life but only occur occasionally in reality (which make them more special, I think).

Here are some pictures of our little adventure.

Yes I'm posting these pictures even though I wore no make-up. Sorry folks.

 

Luke finally crashed.

Cool helicopter/plane. Can't remember what it's called, haha.

It was such a good reminder for me that you don't have to spend a ton of money to have a wonderful time and make awesome memories. Check out what is going on in your local area for free, or take advantage of springtime and go for a hike/bike ride/swim/walk/picnic etc. I know we will be!
