One of the plane which was highly visited during the airshow at the former Howard Air Force Base, was a bulky military troops plane. There were long lines of parents with their children waiting in line under a torrid tropical sun. It was a pleasant sight to see the kids posing for their parents when they entered the plane. I can’t emphasize enough the benefits of sharing experiences with your family. The children will never forget it, even when they grow up. Usually they will follow the same pattern of sharing experiences with their own kids.
Below are several pictures of the people visiting a military aircraft and the swarm of people waiting in line to enter the plane. Take a look.

The visitors entered the aircraft from the back and exited from the front. There were cameras everywhere. It was interesting to point out that many parents were taking pictures with their cellphones. That’s a new trend in Panama.

You’re quite right about the value of making memories with the whole family. I certainly don’t remember all our vacations when I was a kid, but I have a lot of very vivid memories – pure pleasure, now!
I wish I could look at pictures of my youth. Very little pictures were taken back then. I like this quote about photographs:
“Photographs are moments, pieces of time that are captured to look at again and again.”—Stuart Sipahigil
