Family Fun Day

Friday Garrett's Battalion had a family fun day. On base next to the lake out by the hospital. They gave Garrett until 10 a.m. to be there since he had to bring Addi and I! He actually got to sleep in past 7 a.m.! He was soooo happy.

We got up around 7 and got ready woke up Addi and got her ready! She was in one of her little cut outfits with her flower headband. We attempted to put her little shoes on her ha not a success she kept pulling on them and trying to take them off. O well! She still looked absolutely adorable.

We left the house and headed towards base. Once we hit the 5 traffic started to get a little on the thick side. It turns out that they had opened the check station on the 5 and was checking every car for illegal immigrants! It was a pain in the neck. Once it was our turn to go up they waved us on through thank you Jesus for the base and Cpl stickers on the windshield of our car!

We got there and they had free food and games for all the families. There were blow up gyms for the kids, horse rides, a rock climbing wall, and a fight pit! They also had music adn were giving away free things.

Garrett did his check-in ordeal and visited his Sgt, then we were off to the food who can beat that right? Once we had eaten we went over to the rock climbing with the Patton's. Kendra the wife, climbed first while I video taped it, then I took my turn climbing. Poor Addi was to small and young to go on the blow-up gym, so she just got to chill and be cute for everyone to see!

We were at the lake until 1:30 p.m. and by then we were both a little sunburned haha! So we invited the Patton's to our apartment for swimming and dinner. They gladly accepted. So off we went. On our way home we decided to stop and order Garrett's name tapes for his new cami's. At the little uniform shop I found a cute purse and diaper bag and thought hmmm, I need one of each! Garrett told me to make my own out of his old ripped up cami pants! Great idea so now I need to go to Joann's for some inside material and a pattern! Wish me luck it has been at least 4 years since I have sewn anything besides holes in cami pants.

We got home and the Patton's showed up, so off to the pool we all went! Ahhhh nothing like a nice cold pool on a hot sunny day. By the way I did put sunblock on for that one since I was already kind of on my way to a sunburn. Addi got the baby sunblock at least 4 times during our outside time on Friday. Don't want to destroy her wonderful baby skin yet!

We spent 2 hours at the pool and came home heated up left-over meatloaf and watched "What happens in Vegas". Then the Patton's went home we got Addi ready for her beddy by time and then all of us went to slumber land! It was an over all wonderful day! I am going to enjoy the rest of tonight and tomorrow with Garrett since he wont be home for another 2 weeks:( So I am going to make the best of our time together! Goodnight all!
