air and water show



the air and water show is an annual event in chicago that takes place over a weekend and lasts pretty much all day. this year on sunday, aug 16th, mark invited me, megan and alice out on his boat to see the show along with a few of his friends. the Chicago Air & Water Show is the largest spectator event in the United States and the longest ongoing show of its kind in north america and this year marked the 51st year. unfortunately the weather was threatening rain all day and it wasn't all that nice out, but we went out on the boat anyways. we got to see a lot of cool planes and stunts in between all the rain and then we had to head in around 4 b/c of super dark/bad storm warnings. we got back just time before the real downpour and thunder/lightning stuck...phew! here are some photos from the show. one of mark's friends has a super duper nice camera and telephoto lens and these are mostly from his camera.



btw, thank you devon for telling me about picnik! it makes picture loading/sharing so much easier!! now, how do i get the pics to show up bigger on here?!
