Happy Halloween!

If I haven't mentioned before, I have an awesome neighbor.  Her name is Amy.  She mentioned to me a while ago, that she had NEVER carved a pumpkin.  Growing up, her family didn't celebrate Halloween, so she's never participated in the time honored tradition.  So, I promised her this year that we'd carve pumpkins together.  

Well, last night we went to the commissary, and they didn't have any pumpkins.  So we went to the other commissary on Hickam Air Force Base.  They didn't have pumpkins either.  So standing in the produce area, we called Target.  They didn't have pumpkins either.  So when Amy hung up, I jokingly suggested that we carve watermelons (we were standing next to a whole bunch).  She said, "WHY NOT?!?!" lol  So we grabbed the smallest watermelons we could find and took them home :)

Yes, these were the smallest ones we could find! lol

Here's my melon!

We cut holes in the bottom...

Amy carving her first watermelon! 

Hi!  Having fun?

Yikes! Beware!!!

Bottoms are cut! Mmm... the watermelon is DElicious!

This is just ONE of the two bowls of watermelon insides that we scrapped out!!!

Here's a video of the watermelon insides, lol.  

This is what it looks like when a watermelon vomits!

Amy had the greatest idea to make her pumpki-melon into Stewie from Family Guy!  So I drew it up for her and here she is carving away :D

MWHAHAHAHA

I tried to make mine into Jack Skellington, The Pumpkin Watermelon King.  It turned out pretty well I think! :)

Here he is lit up.

HAHAHA... this was a text from the hubby.  He was at work (still) and let me know he was gonna be another hour or so.  Amy said he's probably going to say "You mean pumpkins?" and HE DID! HAHAHAAHA

Here's Amy's Stewie lit up :D

Now to finish them off, painting them orange!

  

Tada!  Our Pumpki-melons!

I think the pink of the watermelon insides make pumpki-melons even creepier!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Kaneohe Air Show

Yesterday, my awesome friend Lisa, her two boys, and I went up towards the North Shore to the Marine Core Base to see the Air Show!  I was beyond excited!  For those of you who don't know, I LOVE planes!  So what's better than an air show?!?  I was also VERY excited because I haven't been to an air show in a looooong time.

Our first stop were the cargo planes

A plane from the Pacific Aviation Museum 

(you saw some pic from there in a previous post)

Whoa, talk about bringing out the big guns!

This is Lisa's son, Caleb, we had a hay day checking out everything!

Lisa's youngest boy, Kyllian, helping Caleb shoot!

SO CUTE!!!

He's already a pro!

Look! That tire is as big as Caleb!

Kyllian didn't want to get down!  He was all about driving that huge truck! lol 

In a tank!  So cool!

Navy Firemen??? Dangerous ;)

Fire Marshall Caleb making sure all the equipment works!

Looking at the inner workings of a helicopter 

Lisa looks super cute!  Too bad no one else was interested in taking a pic.

Strafing run!

Probably the COOLEST picture I got!  We definitely felt the heat from that!

The smoke afterwards (I think it looks kind like jelly fish lol)

Navy Seals skydiving

Floating down to the ground

He's wants to get out there and fly some planes!

In the cockpit!

This truck was INSANE!  It had jet engines on the back and would race planes as they flew above!  If I drove that truck, I'd need an adult diaper!

This guy was part of a group of skydivers called The Flying Leathernecks.

The biggest bummer was that we didn't get to see the Blue Angels perform :(  But we got there at 9:30 am and left at 2:30 pm.  That's quite a long day for anyone in the hot sun, especially little kiddos.  Even though we didn't get to see the awesomeness that is the Blue Angels, we still had a SUPER fun time!!!  So glad we went! :D

I hope there is another air show again soon!
