The Doyle Family: Cheap fun

Cheap fun

This last weekend was the Abbotsford Air Show.

We looked into going because our boys love planes.

Turns out that is not so cheap fun. It is however cheap fun to drive as close to the border as you can go, pull off to the side of the road, put down a blanket, some lawn chairs and enjoy the show.

Think we are crazy? We might be but, we're not alone.

If we do it again next year we will pack food and look up the time of events. I love these family moments together!

My sister used to live on the Badger Rd and we would go out to her house & BBQ & watch the airshow... got to see a stealth bomber bank a turn right above her house! Way cooler than watching it take off at the airfield!
