Military Family Day

Well, it was a blast.  Despite sunscreen, I think we all got a little pink.  When we first arrived, they had Quiznos sub sandwiches, chips, cookies, drinks, and cake.  I ate almost a whole footlong myself!  After that, there was water balloon volleyball.  We have no idea which side won because it turned into a water balloon fight.  Even spectators weren't safe from the artillery! 

There was also frisbee that the boys really enjoyed doing. 



Melanie got her face painted.  The boys were too interested in other water sports instead.

Then there was the dunk tank!  First, certain soldiers were auctioned off for chances to dunk them at the dunk tank.  The higher ranking soldiers were first.  I put JJ up to bid.  I bought him for 20 dollars.  I think it was worth it!  Spencer, Morgan, JJ's mom, all three kids, and I got to dunk him!

There is his loving wife dunking my wonderful husband in the freezing cold water. 

Here is a video of him being dunked!  Which apparently won't upload!!!!

JJ dunked some of the other soldiers as well.  He has pretty dang good aim.

Later, there was a slip and slide for the kids.

 And then the piece de resistance, trout fishing!  They filled a swimming pool with tiger trout and water, put the kids in it, and them try to catch fish with their bare hands!  Melanie caught two.  Patrick caught three, but had to put one back, Gregory tried, but others caught him a couple of fish.  It was Melanie and Patrick's favorite part. 

Anyway, we are home.  We had fun.  Best part, JJ got paid for all of this!  And now back to earth!  Love you all!
