The Blue Angels are visiting Jacksonville this weekend for an air show - they actually flew right over our house when they arrived which scared the bejeebees out of the Dweeb and rattled all the windows. Mom and Dad of coarse were outside watching each one fly over as they were coming in to land - they had just come from doing an airshow in Hawaii. Their show is going to be right over the beach so Mom said we needed to get down there early before the crowds started appearing. We decided not to go to this show as Mom Dad and I have seen them perform many times before when we lived in Nebraska near the Offett Air Force base - plus it will be high tide when they are doing their show so there will be very little room for people to stand as there is VERY limited space and parking available at Jacksonville beach and usually when they have events like this people have to park miles away and then get a shuttle bus to the beach and they DON'T allow dogs on the bus!Anyhoo - with all the wind we have had this week the tides have been super high and MY beach has been scrubbed clean and smooth but Mom did find this 'tree art' that was left in the sand as the water receded. We had lots of fun leaving funny footprints in the sand but yes - I think we will stay away from all the noisy jets today as they do their routine over MY beach :)

ReplyDeleteOh that is exciting!!! I love aeroplanes as much as I love ships... the Blue Angels I am thinking are like the Red Arrows of UK or the Roulettes of OZ.... FABulous!!! Wow your beach is so lovely; my 'beach' is shingle... hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
I rather stay away from that flying thingies and spend some time with you on your beach... it even has "trees"... the perfect place for a dog :o)
ReplyDeleteThat's exciting but I understand why you'd rather not go for the actual show. Denny must be very frightened by all the noise! Very nice tree art!
ReplyDeleteSounds fun! Love the beach photos
ReplyDeleteThe tree art is really cool. Glad your mom kept you from the noise.
ReplyDeleteWow! We love the Blue Angels! They visited us last summer. We love the Thunderbirds too! The go so fast that by the time you hear them, they're already gone! They do make the whole house shake!
ReplyDeleteLooks you guys had a great time at the beach
ReplyDeleteOh, that must have been so cool!!! Sometimes the helicopters from Ft. Riley fly really low over our house and it's super awesome to watch them! I"m sure I'd like the Blue Angels, too!

You are regular beach bums! Did you try ear plugs?

Those Blue Angels do some great work, but they can be very noisy! That is some great tree art in the sand. Tomorrow will be a better day for you and Mom to go for a beach stroll.
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday.

ReplyDeleteThat tree art really looks cool. I love watching the Blue Angels, but they are too loud for Bentley and Pierre.
ReplyDeleteWhat cool tree art in the sand! We hope the planes aren't too noisy for you, Reilly and Denny.
ReplyDeleteLove ya lots♥

We love the Blue Angels too they perform here every other summer for the Air and Water Show. OMD! You lived near Offutt? Mom's mom and dad are from Nebraska and met when he was stationed there after the war in the 1940s. Mom's oldest brother was born at Offutt. Small world. Love Dolly
