April 25th

Saturday, April 25th we went to the festival for the military child at the stillwell center here on base. We had no idea what it was, but a friend ours was going and invited us, so we went! Boy are we glad we did! We spent all day there and the boys had a blast! There was a magic show that the boys sat quietly and watched, the sheriff's office was there with the k-9 dogs. We got identity kits for the boys, complete with their DNA, fingerprints and pictures!! They both got sword balloons from the balloon artist! Outside the fire dept was there and they got to sit in the firetruck. The fire department had the smoke house, and the boys learned about fire and how to get out of the house safely if we have a fire. At the end of the lesson, they went upstairs and the smoke alarm went off and there was smoke. Henry promptly freaked out, started crying and ran out of the house! Tyler stayed and followed the directions and got out with the other kids. There was also a petting zoo with baby chicks and goats. Henry wanted to keep a chick! To our surprise, they both rode the horses and wanted to ride again! Of course, with all of the fun and all of the things that the boys did, mommy did not have her camera!!!!
