Maria and Tyler, TJ and Elizabeth live on F.E. Warren AFB. They have a little playground down the street from their house. It was walking distance. We went there one afternoon while Maria was at work. Of course, Alex and Ben love being "ou-side" and swinging on the "wheeeee." They also discovered that you can throw rocks and it's a whole load of fun to do around your 1 year old cousin!!!
One day we went to Ft. Collins and went to Jumpin'. It's a Monkey Joes/Pump It Up kind of place. It was a lot of fun. Before that we ate at Red Robinnnnnn, YUM! It's one of Maria's fave places and of course who can resist, bottomless french fries? Or, "hots" as the boys call them. I guess because whenever I give them french fries, I always say , "these are hot!"
The kids really enjoyed getting their wiggles out. And there was a day camp group there that just fell in love with the boys...all three of them. They kept calling them by their name and helping them down the slides and stuff. I guess that's one advantage/disadvantage to your kids wearing a t-shirt with their names embroidered on the front!!!
From the looks of some of these pictures it looks like not just the boys were having fun!!! Aunt Jessica is so great. She got up in those bouncy castles and jumped like a little kid. I took a turn on the slide, too. Where is Aunt Maria?
One afternoon we let the kids play in the backyard. Maria got out the water table. You know how kids love to splash, right? Well the boys went berserk for this toy. They were soaked when they came in! But the great thing is we just dumped them all in the tub together.
The next big event was going to the Thunderbirds landing at the Air Force Reserve base where Tyler works. We were there during Frontier Days which is a huge outdoor rodeo that they have in Cheyenne. It's turned into this enormous week long festival and there are all kinds of events, concerts, free breakfasts, and evidently and AIR SHOW! I love an air show!!! We got to see a sample of what was coming up in the air show when they landed. We even got to meet the Thunderbird team. There was a girl pilot and she was lovin' the boys. She jumped out of line to come up and shake their hand. It was so cute!
On our last afternoon there, we went outside and took some great pictures. It was a beautiful afternoon and we got some great shots.
After we left Mom and Dads we went to see the boys' Grandma and Grandpa. We went to the park and then to lunch. We also went to see their horses on the way out of town. It was a fun day.
