Every May MCCS Iwakuni opens up to 250,000 Japanese visitors to celebrate the American/Japanese friendship with an airshow. Planes from around the world can be seen in displays on the ground and flying demos in the air. Of course this is an event we would not miss. I do apologize on the photos as I am blogging "mobile," since my computer is still not working, I am unable to change sizes and arrange quite the way I would like. So here's what we saw...
Here are our children with their headphones to protect them from the loud overhead passes from the jets...
Some of the views from the ground. Our son had to see the racecar with Daddy...
Then of course his sister had to as well...
A couple of our favorite planes...
As a celebration for US and Japanese, there were multiple food tents with American and Japanese foods. It was fun seeing Japanese visitors flocking to the American food tents, and Americans (including us) purchasing food from the Japanese tents.
And who could forget the kids! These type of shows always have a great children's area. This one had amazing inflatable bouncers with slides...
The lines for these bouncy slides were over a half hour wait, so we just tried out bouncy caterpillar maze. Our daughter was too small to go in alone, so I got to sneak in with her and the camera. ;)
Our daughter climbing through the caterpillar maze. Several Japanese children joined in the fun...
A very fun day for the kids. Also great to see so much interest from the Japanese, and our two countries having so much fun together.
