Family Day

Well, the start of our weekend has been pretty eventful. We went out on base and checked out the fitness center. It's free for us and is really nice but cost of gas to go out there and back adds up quick (especially at 3.25 a gallon, ouch). They have a HUGE rock climbing station that I have to try out sometime. It looks really fun. The thing I really loved that I haven't seen any other fitness centers do, is that they have an area full of exercise equipment right next to a fully gated in children's play area, so you can workout and supervise your kids at the same time. I tried that out, and after getting sweaty we went to the pool. The shallow end slopes down to a deeper part with a water slide. There's a second part that's really deep for adults but we didn't check that part out. Case was terrified of the water but by the end we had him going down the water slide without a life jacket. The baby likes to splash around and went on a second smaller slide into 4 feet of water and we would catch her. After, we went swimming, we went into town and ate at Perkins. We were so hungry and everything tasted great. Then we went home to have the kids nap and off to the carnival when they woke up. Since it was dark,everything was lit up. Case even got about 3 free rides. No one asked for tickets. I wasn't going to complain. Adele went on one ride but got nervous with other people picking her up. Case had a blast though. We got some pics and videos. Case won a sword at a duck pond and we called it a night at 11 pm. Then we bought a bag of cotton candy that the kids took full advantage of on the drive home. We had a really fun day. I think Amadon and I are more tired then the kids.
