Make A Wish- Thunderbirds Airshow


We had a lot of fun seeing the Thunderbirds. Later in the day I asked Natalie what her favorite part was. She was just waking up and she told me in a very groggy voice that the smoke was her favorite part, the smoke from the airplanes.
Despite all the noise, the Colonel was a cool customer.
Natalie wanted to be with Crys the entire time. We were sitting in the tent and Natalie kept calling out, "Crys...t." (That's how she pronounces it. Despite my assurances that Crys couldn't hear her with all the noise, Natalie continued to call her for at least five minutes.
Natalie's wishgranter, April, met us there and we had a fun time watching the airshow together. It was helpful having some extra help too since David had to work.
Natalie loved meeting all the pilots and she got all of their autographs on her program. The only autograph she didn't get was one pilot who wasn't there because he was sick.
This lady helped Natalie find the pilots whose autograph she was missing.
Natalie was not shy at all and went up and talked to all the pilots. She is so cute. She got a lot of compliments on her new purple sparkly shoes too.

Her special Make-A-Wish nametag. Whenever the pilots would ask her name she would just hold up her nametag so they could read it instead of telling them.
