Christopher's Dream Weekend

The themes of this weekend were planes, planes, planes and dogs, dogs, cows.

We spent Saturday in a suburb of St. Louis for the Spirit of St. Louis Air Show in Chesterfield, Missouri. Sunday morning was spent at Purina Farms watching a dog agility show, regular dog show and visiting a hands on children's farm. If you know Christopher, you know that planes and dogs are possibly his favorite things in the world, so you can imagine how much fun he had! The air show was amazing and featured, among many things, the Blue Angels. Over the course of the weekend, I took 250 pictures so I'll try to pick out some of the better ones to share with you. Here are some pics from the air show…








No, this stunt plane is not crashing. It's just, you know, flying sideways!


Hey, hey, hey! Here comes Fat Albert...

The Blue Angels were amazing to watch! They were absolutely perfect, as you need to be when you are flying wing tip to wing tip at 400 miles per hour!



Chris was very happy with his souvenir and "flew" it all the way back to KC...

We also found a car we thought Christopher's cousin, Bennett might like due to the orange color...

Sunday morning involved our trip to Purina Farms. First we visited the petting zoo…



And Chris got to milk the cow, a little!

Then it was onto the really cool part--the dog agility demonstration! These dogs were incredible and showed how they could play frisbee, run an agility course and dive into a pool. Best of all, each of the dogs had been rescued from a shelter. Here are some pics from that event…






Looks like Kasey and Holly have some work to do… Or maybe they're just happy going for a walk! Anyway, it was a great weekend and we got to see some of Missouri's best farmland on the long drive home.
