We have angels! And they are BLUE!

The USN Blue Angels are in town for an air show this weekend, and they have been flying maneuvers over our house for the last several hours. As I am typing this they are flying a diamond formation, its one of those deals where you can hear them and you run out to see them and they are almost gone!LOL

They are awesome. And they are such a pretty shade of blue... Our elevation is just a tad under 5,000 feet and they are acclimating to the elevation and the closeness of the mountains in proximity to the airport.

Not only do we have the Blue Angels, but we have the US Army Golden Knights parachute jumping team, and the US Marine Corp C130 transporter, fondly called "Fat Albert".

Bre and I hope to get out to the air show on Sunday, if so I will provide pictures!!

Have a great night everyone, my hand bruised at the injection site and my finger is STILL locking down! I hope this gets better!

Before I leave, you should go over to Bre's blog at Maverick Miracles and take a look at her video of the Denver Bronco visit that she attended yesterday. There are 8 cities in the state of Colorado who are deemed "Official Denver Bronco Country" and we are one of them. So, twice a year they bring some of the players and all of their regalia over to sign autographs and pump the natives up for the football season. She had a ball. And created an amazing video!

Love the Blue Angels, and also the Thunderbirds! Their shows are so exciting. Glad you get to see them, and hope you can take some pictures. And hope you'll share them with us.

Hope your finger improves!

I think the Blue Angels are so cool. But I am more concerned about your hand. There has to be a reason for it and are you able to work with it hurting and messed up like it is? Take care ok?

Blue Angels... I love them. And while I've never gotten to see the parachute jumpers in real life, I've seen them in documentaries and they are incredible.

Sorry to hear you had to have injections. I can't sympathize on finger injections, but Missy, my room mate, had to have the trigger injections in her thumb and I can sure empathize. I've had a bunch in my back over the years. Hopefully it will help you as much as it helped my friend.

I'll be back to check on you!
