Flugtag

On Saturday morning we packed up and headed over to Harriet Island in St. Paul to see the Red Bull Flugtag event. We got there before a lot of people and found prime seating on a little hill directly across from where the apparatuses take off from.


However, this little hill also blocked the much needed breeze on the 90 degree day and Trevor (as well as Mommy and Daddy were overheating) so we packed up and decided to just walk around or find a cooler spot. Trevor was able to cool down in a little fountain area designed for kids and it is just what our little guy needed.

Soon afterwards, the event was set to begin. Skydivers (aka crazy people) opened the event.

There were 30 entries all trying to fly off the 30 foot deck and beat the world record of 197 feet or something like that. Most went a bit like this one:
Good approach:
Nose dive:

Crash:

But there was one that didn't crash and kept going and going! It even beat the world record! Too bad we didn't get a picture of that one!

Trevor was less than amused so we stuck around for about an hour after it started before heading out to get something to eat at Boca Chica since Sara had been wanting to try it and we were in the neighborhood and Brian was craving Mexican food (when isn't he?)!

Trevor is at such a fun age. He has quite the little personality. If you have met him you can almost hear the sounds he makes with each face Yay a book..eeeek!

He's so serious when it comes to reading!

Can you read it again? Please? Eeeeek again!

The other thing he is very into at restaurants is water. He loves water! He gets so excited when he sees a straw and then again after he takes a sip!
