USAF Graduation - CONGRATS CHARLIE!!!!

Last Wednesday the US Air Force had their graduation ceremony... we were excited because Charlie graduated!!!  Charlie is the Cadet my parents have sponsored for the last 4 years and now he's Katelin's boyfriend! He's really been apart of the family from day one! 

The USAF Thunderbirds put on a air show and flyover the stadium after the graduation for a 30 - 45 min show! Its crazy how everyone stops what they are doing ( even if they are driving:) ) and watch the planes!!! 

Here are some pics that our friend TIM at Image Factory Photo took! They are great!!!

In Formation!
Tricks!

Great Picture Tim!!!
Once again... gorgeous day!
