Its almost the Fourth of July...aka Independence Day!
Since petcretary is working this whole holiday weekend long, we won't post tomorrow...but our post today will cover all the patriotic stuff, BOL!
Petcretary spent some time at our local airfield, on Thursday and Friday to watch some of the goings on at The Field of Flight. She did see a Balloon Illume, and some of the military airplanes, but the schedule as posted was incorrect so she missed the featured Thunderbirds...though she sure did hear them! Some of the other balloon events were cancelled due to the winds being too strong...which would have been very dangerous.
So she relied on her memories of seeing them in past years. And the pictures she made were all mostly a disaster. She had only her phone camera, so if she goes next year, she'll take her 'real' one. LOL!
Here are some pics of what was going on, taken from the website they have.

| The sunset on June 30th was amazing! |
 |
| Petcretary got this pic of the Balloon Illume but it really wasn't dark enough when they did it. THere 17 Balloons, but some are 'hiding' in this image. |
Petcretary hasn't seen any balloons in the sky...yet...a lot of launches have been cancelled due to wind or weather conditions.
Petcretary was a double firstie at Teddy's Tuesday Teaser...so she got these badges.

| I was a DOUBLE WINNER on the Teaser of June 28, 2022. I was a FIRST COMMENTER and I also was the FIRST RIGHT GUESSER!!! WHOOPEEEEEEE! |
~~~~~~~~~~~
We had to make a new angel memento as well...Cleo from Peeballs and Pooplogs flew away to the RB...
The rest of the air show was cancelled for the day...these people who do these stunts are highly trained professionals, and yet they DO risk their lives each time they perform. Even all the various airplanes and balloonists. Rest In Peace, Mr Darnell. We saw you perform this same act many other times...

| With somberness we join the Sunday Selfies. |
That looked like an exciting event. Very sad about the stuntman, but he died doing what he loved. A showman to the end. Great selfies from both of you.
ReplyDeleteHow awful that the driver was killed. Great patriotic selfies, Dalton and Benji! Happy Independence Day!
ReplyDeleteWow, that was an awful crash. You look great in your patriotic selfies. When the airshow is here the Thunderbirds park at Patrick SFB which is 2 miles from our house so we see them practice!
ReplyDeleteI have seen the Thunderbirds in the past, I grew up in Savannah, a Military town, SAC was their at Hunter Air Field and we have shows every year like this one. but no Jet truck. so sad to hear this. Enjoy your day off and both of you look ready to PARTY.
ReplyDeleteWonderful pawtriotic selfies, guys!
ReplyDeleteVery sad about the driver...
You two look so cute in your patriotic outfits. We hope you all have a safe and fun holiday weekend.
ReplyDeleteGosh, a post that brings very mixed emotions ~ of course Benji and Dalton look amazing, they are always so cute when "sparkled up"! And it is lovely the way you remembered our dear and sweet Cleo, thank you.
ReplyDeleteAs for the Holiday Show, how terribly sad that what began as a wonderful celebration ended in such tragedy, prayers for the family of Mr Darnell, an extraordinary performer!
Wow! What amazing sights! We love to see the Blue Angels and the Thunderbirds fly when they're in the area. Sorry to hear about that accident, though. Oh, and your kitty cat friend. (Hugs to their families.) You pups are sure dressed up for celebrating the Holiday. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteWe were so sad to hear about Mr. Darnell and hope Pawpy has recovered from this terrible shock.
ReplyDeleteThe air show pictures are very very cool! But not as cute as you, Benji and Dalton. We are always so impressed with your outfits and how still you sit for the camera.
Have a great 4th!!!!! xoxoxo, Bibi & Meep
Terrific photos! Mom LOVES watching the the jets do their acrobatics. In the past, she has been privileged to live in places where they practised. It is something to see up close. Benji and Dalton look amazing, Mom would like to watercolor them (if your Peep does not mind). concatulations to your Mom for her wins! And guys, we wish you and your Peeps a marvellously happy week! Keep being awesome! Purrs Marv
