Air shows are usually conducted either at a military base or large airfield and are definitely an exciting experience. But the thought of very large crowds on a hot summer day can seem quite daunting (especially when bringing the family!). Hopefully, these steps will help you attend and enjoy an air show!



Get detailed directions to the base or airfield well in advance. Map it out and possibly do a practice run. This is very helpful if the highway or road does not usually handle the high volume of traffic associated with such a large event. Bottlenecks occur and folks can be stuck in traffic literally for hours. If you do a dry run of the directions, you may find a quick alternate route.

Over-pack for the air show. When you land yourself and your family in the middle of hundreds of people in the hot sun, it's better to have an extra bottle of water or snack than nothing.

Use the 'buddy system' while visiting the great stations setup at the air show. It can be refreshing to split the family up into two groups and report back to each other on what was the most exciting!

Don't be afraid to ask questions or initiate a conversation with the military personnel at their respective exhibits. They LOVE talking about their work, the aircraft and the air show as a whole.



* Pack extra batteries for your camera. If you are using a digital camera, make sure your memory stick is cleared out. Don't get stuck with only room for a few pictures.

* Create a designated "meeting place" in case you get separated. Make it easy to find from anywhere on the airfield.



* Bring sunblock - lots of it. Time goes by fast during these fun events and realizing you forgot to put it on (or on the kids) hours into the fun is the worst.

At this kind of show, you might this following stuffs

* Sunblock

* Sunglasses

* Earplugs (optional)

There is always something to do on vacations. It may be hard to think of something exciting to do, but there is always something and this will help you find it. However, if your vacation is honestly extremely boring... well, this can help you too.

Before you go to your destination, do some research on where you are heading. Know the history of it. If you do, that alone can make the vacation more interesting. You can also find shopping malls or good restaurants or fun places if you search online. Make sure to tell your parents of all the places you can go if they don't already know. It would be good to also print the information off and bring it with you on your trip.
Be outgoing. If you are shy and quiet, it might be boring if there is nothing to do. If you try to make things fun, chances are that they probably will be.
If there are no interesting places to go, or if weather is bad and you get stuck indoors, watch t.v or watch a movie.
Don't eat too much. If you find yourself going out to restaurants a lot this may be difficult. You can pace yourself though. If you go out everyday, then every other day order a main meal and that's it. The days that you don't have to order a main meal, order a large salad to start and then have desert after. Try not to snack a lot. Because you are bored you may find yourself eating more. Don't start that habit.
Do exercise, work out and jog around. It can also help to do push-ups or steps. Because it is your vacation you may not want to do it, however just set up a schedule. Crunches when you are bored, run every other day or see how many jumping jacks you can do during commercials.
Take long shower, this refreshes your day and makes you feel clean and healthy. If there is nothing to do around the place, pamper yourself. Go through your own mini spa

* Write in a journal about the events in your day.
* Wake up each morning to see the sunrise and think about how lucky you are to be able to go on vacation.


* Don't go out too much, you'd be surprised how fast your money can go.

It is often difficult to persuade children to eat vegetables.
To make it easier try the following:

Tell your child about the health benefits of eating vegetables.
Persuade your child to eat some (but not all) of what you've put on the plate. Example: "If you take two more bites, you can be done. I'm sure you can eat two more bites. Let's count."
Try reverse psychology. Say something like, "I wouldn't eat that if I were you."
Make up a game so that eating vegetables is more fun.
Hide vegetables in foods your child likes. For instance, put vegetables on pizza or in a casserole.
Make sure the adults set a good example. Children pick up cues from adults and siblings when it comes to food. If people grimace or complain about eating foods there is a good chance the child will too. Children will often pick up the picky eating habit from those around them.
Don't make it a big deal. Sometimes the pressure to eat it makes a child leery. They will think of eating certain foods much like being forced medication.
Consider their motivation. If the child gets extra attention when they don't eat their vegetables they may continue to protest and cause problems at the table.
Include your child in the preparation of the foods. A proud child will often try their own creations.
Tell your child which vegetables are your favorites, which are favorites of other people they like. Children often try to imitate and may be more open to trying a vegetable that is their big sibling's or grandparent's favorite.
Consider the texture of the foods the child doesn't like. It may be more than a question of taste. If your child seems to protest against certain cooked foods, textures or shapes you can try the raw option if it is safe. Some children also have color preferences. You may need to adjust your menu until the phase passes.
Try juicing. Juicing is a fun way to get important vegetable nutrients.
* For the busy parent some vegetable juice blends are available in the produce section. Try different varieties until you find a blend your child likes. There are more options than just V-8.
* You shouldn't replace all vegetables with juice a important fiber is lost in the juicing process.
* If necessary, juice when they aren't around so the real ingredients can't be seen.
* Keep track of the ingredients you use. You may find a combination of ingredients they prefer and you may need to recreate the recipe.
Add minced or grated vegetables to sauces or to other dishes they enjoy. Pizza's are also a great place to hide finely chopped vegetables.
Talk to their teachers and see if there are foods served in schools they seem to enjoy. Sometimes they become accustomed to foods being prepared a certain way and may reject the way it is prepared at home.
Help your child to grow a vegetable garden. Talk to your local greenhouse and plant vegetables that are quick growing and easy to care for. They'll learn and become eager to try new vegetables.
Add more low sugar fruits to their diet if they become to vegetable resistant.

* Take your child shopping and allow him or her to choose some vegetables to eat.
* Eliminate junk food from your house so that vegetables are one of few healthy choices to snack on.

* Some vegetables like carrots are choking hazards to young children. Make sure the vegetables you feed your child are age-appropriate.
* Don't force your child to eat a particular vegetable if he really doesn't like it. It could cause your child to develop a life-long dislike of certain types of vegetables.
* Don't lie to your child to scare him or her into eating vegetables. Example: "If you don't eat this, your eyes will fall out."
