The weekend.

On Saturday there was a "mini fair" of sorts at the Community Center on base. It was to celebrate military kids and Blain and I decided to take the girls. We had no idea how big it was going to be!!! One driveway had two bouncy houses, a fire truck, police car and fire house where they teach kids how to stop, drop and roll to safety. There was a costumed fire dog that Madison would wave to but when it came close, she wanted nothing to do with it! Inside there were booths EVERYWHERE!
Inside the little fire house for kids! Everything was just her size and she loved it!
We were saying how great it was that the community would come out and support the military like this! Every booth had info and little prizes for the kids. One room was specifically reserved for the police department, they were doing fingerprints and taking polaroids to give us for a Child Safety Information Kit. We weren't sure how Madison would do getting her fingerprints done...but not one whine...she loved it! Outside there was one section devoted to food, and another for kids crafts. Madison made a mask at the Kinderjam table and painted a race car at another (although once we were home, we realized we forgot to go back and pick up the car after it had dried :( oops!)
She loved holding this bunny and it was so small...perfect for her!
Also outside on the other side of the building, there was another bounce house, an armored truck, a Coast Guard boat, a petting zoo, pony rides and another activity section with big bubbles and a few games. Madison loved petting the bunnies and Blain was even able to get her to hold one and take a picture for me!!! What a morning! The entire event was free (even the food) and it was so well put together! We had a great time.
