Fun With the Younger Bunch

My older two kids are gone to Youth Conference and EFY this week and next, followed by a week at camp. So we are enjoying life with only 3 kids and doing all the fun stuff that the teenagers complain about having to do! Thursday we hung out at a local army base and visited a few museums.

Joshua was in his element! He has always wanted to join the army and this was the coolest outing ever! They even had clothes available to dress up in while you tour the museum! How cool is that?!!!

Savannah was all for dressing up long enough to get a picture taken, but then informed me that "these clothes aren't pretty enough....I am getting out of them!"

Here are the boys in the virtual jungle helping out with an ambush!

We stopped off for "Happy Hour" at Sonic on our way to the museum and got 1/2 price slushies. If you haven't tried it, you gotta go! We are definitely Sonic fans in our house!

We even got to watch the soldiers on base do a flag ceremony. It was pretty cool to watch, but very hot! I think it was almost 100 degrees that day! I had a lot of fun taking the kids to look around and I find that I really do enjoy taking the kids places and not hearing anyone complain about how boring it is! What is it about teenagers that makes them have to tell you how totally uncool any family outing is? We hope they are having a great time at youth conference!
