Drew's squadron had Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday off in observance of Veteran's Day! We heard that the water park had free admission for active duty military and $20 entry for spouses. Even though we have season passes, we decided to go. Also going with us were some friends of ours from the squadron. We had no idea there would be such a celebration. We were welcomed by some horses and their riders, all decked out in their American attire.
It was pretty neat. The local only country radio station was there, with giveaways and contests. But enough of that...let's get to the water slides!
It was Calvin's first time at the water park and at first he wasn't quite sure if he liked it or not.
But soon he was going down the slide on his own and loving it!
Andrew loves the water park. He's getting very brave and will go down all by himself (even on the bigger slides..which I don't have a picture of)
Soon we decided it was time for lunch. Drew met us at the food counter with our towels. It was very windy so I covered Andrew up because we were all a bit chilly. Within 30 seconds of me covering him up, he fell asleep in my arms. I carried him back to our chairs and he stayed just like this for 2 hours!....
He must be catching up on all that sleep he lost while playing hard with Granna and Paw-Paw!
After he woke up, we decided to head home, but not before we made one stop on the way...MENCHIES FROZEN YOGURT! (Our favorite place EVER) Our first few visits we'd just let Andrew share from our cup, but he likes to get his own now. He loves picking out the toppings.
Calvin looks a little unsure about his topping choices. hehe
And this is what the marines look like when they have duty! (He had the duty phone all day)
It was a really fun day with friends and what better way to celebrate our husbands for their awesome service to this country than a day of play at the water park!

Gareth looks terrified of that little ol' water slide! I thought he was a big, tough Marine?!
