There was a bounce house, inflatable slide, inflatable rock climb wall, and inflatable water slide. Gunner went down the slide and in the bounce house, but the house was short lived. As soon as he got inside he just kept saying "hot, hot", so he came out shortly thereafter.
They also had a few vendors there and they had cute little games for the kids (pick a duck, ring toss, bean bag toss, ect). Gunner got in on the action and did really well with the bean bag toss. He won a cute little shark that he carried around the rest of the day.
Grace got in on the action by modeling a really cute bow made by a friend of ours. I'm not a giant head bow fan but I have to admit it's adorable. Plus the little piece in the middle of the bow is Nate's rank, which I thought was ADORABLE!
Next we ventured on the free ferry ride to the island. It was about a 20 minute ferry (more like a pontoon boat) ride and then a short (maybe 1/2 mile walk) to the beach. Gunner loved the boat ride!
After the boat ride, Grace was zonked out! She fell asleep on the walk to the beach and stayed asleep in the stroller for awhile Gunner and Nate ventured out for a swim.
I captured a little video of Gunner sitting in the water. Let's see if I can get it to upload correctly...
It's not the best quality because I only had my phone to take pictures and videos (my memory card on the camera was full. But I figured something beats nothing. :) So all in all we had a great time. We ended up staying most of the day.
Now onto the random funnies from the last few days. As we're unpacking and organizing, it's cute what the kids get into and find interesting. Gunner found his winter hat and mittens while we were cleaning out his dresser and of course he wants to wear them (granted it's in the 90's here). We thought it was funny though.
In the chaos of unpacking and trying to be productive, Grace tries to be a little sneaky. She's mastered crawling now and when she thinks no one is watching makes a beeline for the dog food/water. I happened to catch it on video.
The other random funny from the other day was when Nate went to get Gunner a snack. Only a dad would give a kid the whole tub of animal crackers (with a spoon mind you because Gunner wanted one). :) I had to chuckle.
So all in all, things have been going really well for us. The weather's been warm, but nothing too unbearable yet. Nate is still off work so that has been really nice. We can't wait to have visitors to our new house (if anyone is looking for a vacation, hint hint). Miss you all!
