Blue Angel Flyover

We went and sat outside the stadium in town today, because the Blue Angels were going to be flying over at the start of the Navy graduation parade. I thought it would be a really cool thing to do. What I didn't realise was that they were firing a salute just before the flyover (Possibly 21 gun salute, but I lost track of how many bangs there were). We were probably about 10m from the guns firing (two canon things loaded on a trailer). I barely remember the flyover because I was trying to comfort a terrified, hysterical child (the 4 yo). So, very memorable morning, but really for all the wrong reasons.
On the upside, I have learnt valuable lessons about listening to my child's concerns seriously, and apologising later after not respecting his fears.
