This is Gavin on the salt flats outside of Wendover. He has really bad anxiety attacks on the freeway (anyone ever heard of that?) so we had lots of little stops along the way, but we made them fun.
This was my favorite plane of the whole thing. It was the final act of the airshow--and after all the little planes--it was the perfect finale! I couldn't believe how loud it was! This video is from my camera, so it doesn't do it justice. It was SO LOUD and seemed much bigger in person. AWESOME!

Inside the life flight airplane--Gavin loved it!
You don't realize how hard it was to get this picture! Gavin is so shy--he had to wait until EVERYONE else was off the plane before these earphones could go on!
The Army ROTC sponsored this really fun climbing wall.
Gavin's favorite thing of the moment is old fashioned-classic cars. His particular favorite is the '57 Chevy. We were pleasantly surprised to see a classic car show taking place with the airshow! Gavin was in HEAVEN!
As if this birthday could get any better, I let Gavin invite the 3 other boys from his kindergarten class to go bowling. I picked them all up from school and we met dad at the bowling alley for lunch and a lot of fun!
Gavin had the best day ever--and mom's day got easier when the cake for the bowling party went un-eaten. Turns out one of the kids was allergic to chocolate???so I nixed making the fancy car cake I had planned (I had no idea how to go about that anyway) and we ate up our store bought special!
Gavin's "biggy" present was a new soccor ball and goal post that he has wanted for a long time. Here he is kicking his first goal!
I hope you had a great birthday, Gavin! We sure love you!

Gavin is so cute, I think you have a future pilot on your hands, what a fun birthday.
I can't believe that he is 6 already! Sad that they have to grow up so fast. It sounds like you planned the perfect birthday for that little kid. I love the picture at the Salt Flats. He has the BEST big smile!
