Livermore Airport

The Livermore airport has an open house every year the beginning of October.  They have all these cool planes out to look at, and they do an air show.  When we got there they were right in the middle of the air show, so as we were driving up on the freeway, we got to watch a plane doing loop-the-loops and nose dives and stuff.  It was really cool.

We ran into some friends while we were there.  Zac showed Lucas all the coolest planes.
They had one of the planes open so people could climb inside and take a look.  Lucas liked pretending to drive the airplane.
Lucas liked this plane because he said it looked like a dinosaur.

This shark plane was his favorite.
They also had some other booth type things there.  One of them was put on by the Livermore fire department.  They were doing a demonstration about fire safety.  They had this trailer with a kitchen where they went over the different things you're supposed to do for different fires and circumstances.  Then they had all the kids practice climbing out a window from a room filled with fake smoke.  It was actually really cool.
I was really surprised that Lucas let the fireman help him down the ladder.  We went back and did it again because he enjoyed it some much.  He is now a pro at climbing out windows.
Then we watched some airplanes take off on the runway.  We love that our city does cool stuff like this all the time.  And it was free!

Lucas is such a cute little man! :) When I see posts about all fun things you've been doing I just wish we lived closer so we could go with you!

Now that Lucas knows how to climb out windows you will never be sure what he's up to when he's "taking a nap". (haha) Livermore is a fun place to live. Who would have guessed it?
