Shrek the Halls Ice Adventure in Orlando

It was between 5- 9 Degrees!

We bundled and joined in the Ice Fun!

Thunderbirds

 

Brooks had an experience

of a lifetime this past weekend with his Meme and Sonny

when he went to the Annual 

Air Show at MacDill Air Force Base!

Brooks enjoyed every last minute of

the Air Show even the loudness of the planes!

The highlight was the 

Thunderbirds!

Check it out!

Brooks is so passionate

about Airplanes! 

He enjoys learning all about

them and he certainly loved seeing

the Thunderbirds fly this year in Tampa Bay!

Thank You for taking Brooks!
