Sioux City Air Show

We went to the air show on Sunday - it was hot, loud,

big, and very exciting. I have a tendency to cry during

the opening acts of shows (ex. The Lion King, Riverdance,

etc.) - and when that first F-16 started flying around I

actually felt a lump in my throat. I'm the weirdest

person on this planet. Now enjoy the pictures!!

Micah is lying down in the refueling plane - where the men

watch the planes refuel - this is one of the same planes that

Dad got to ride in and where he got to lay to watch the refueling.

This plane was full of 1970's computers, but the crew

kept telling us that they work just fine. They actually

had a mission scheduled after the air show.

You're gonna get hop-ons

"Cadillac of the sky!"

Table Rock Lake

The entire Van Gorp family traveled to Table Rock

Lake in Missouri last week for some good vacation fun.

Our house during the vacation

Silly boys.

Seth jumped the wake and it was super cool.

I swear Jana and I enjoyed tubing...I swear!

See?!

Jana is brave and jumped off a cliff. She received

a bruise for her bravery.

Luke found a snuggie.

We went to the Silver Dollar City amusement

park one day - everyone enjoyed this ride.

I took the pictures....willingly. :)

And now...some cliff jumping

Goin' Clubbin'

What does this face say to you? This look of

pure joy? It says "I got new golf clubs."

Jaron got new clubs too - Happy Birthday to him! :)

Seth's new clubs - its hard to see but there is

an orange accent - Seth likes the orange.

And now some house updates.

Before...

AFTER!

These crazy caterpillars showed up out of nowhere

and are now living in my dill plant. Do you think they

are eating my dill? They don't seem to move, but do

seem to be growing bigger and bigger....

parsley, dill, tarragon, and mint

:)

Summer Fun

I had to work on Saturday, but after work Mom

and Dad took us out for dinner and then came back

to the house for a nice fire in our fire pit. We received

this fire pit for Christmas and hadn't gotten to use it

yet so it was nice to finally break it in :)

Mom and Dad went to Shopko after dinner and a

couple of foam swords caught Dad's eye. So he bought

them and this was the end result of the swords. Enjoy.
