Aliens & Airplanes

PLANET 51

We took the kids to see this movie on Saturday morning. The kids liked it, of course. They are movie-aholics! It was just ho-hum for Matt & I.

On our drive home down Ironwood, we saw remote control airplanes flying in the air and decided to stop and see what was going down. We stumbled upon the Southwest IMAC Regional Finals, where these hobbyists compete in different categories (precision, freestyle) with their model airplanes. I had no idea these things were so HUGE from just seeing them in the sky from a distance!

The kids were absolutely fascinated by these airplanes. I loved that they have fake little "pilots" rigged in the cockpit! We only stayed for maybe 30 minutes because it was SO windy and dusty, but it was way cool!

Justin's grandpa flies at that field! :) Our girls LOVE watching him fly his planes! He flies every Saturday either in Scottsdale or at that field.
