This year we had a really fun Memorial Day weekend compliments of the military.
Friday night we were able to enjoy our first arena football game with free tickets from base. The kids loved it. I was a little surprised that Chloe enjoyed it as much as she did. She liked the "cheerleaders" and would get up and dance when they did. She also clapped and yell "Woo Hoo!" after each goal and kick. Elijah loved when the mascot came out and when they would dance in between time outs. Elijah was also really bummed that our team lost. He contributed it to them "being tired because it was past his bedtime".
Saturday we had planned to go to the Air Show on base but it was rained out and cancelled. We were able to take advantage of some other places that had free events for military and family. Sunday after church we decided to let Elijah go to the Air Show just because he had been looking forward to it for the entire month. Chloe and I stayed home so she could take a nap but the boys went. Jed's really fun to go to places like that with because he knows what everything is and can explain the different guns, tanks and planes. Elijah loved it! Chloe and I were able to catch the very end of the show from the hill right behind our house.
Afterwards, we headed over to Jed's parents' for dinner. The kids always have so much fun with their uncles and cousins.
