National Night Out

I love our base!  This is a great place to live if you have kids.  I have a dead end street safe for my kids to ride their bikes during the day.  I have seven parks within a five minute drive of my home, four of those are within a two minute walk.  I have a pool that is free to use every Thursday for my kids and a beach on base that I can use everyday.  The library has a reading program during the summer and a regular story time with craft every two weeks.  The arts and craft center offers inexpensive classes for kids and adults and the military even offers sports for kids as young as 3 and karate classes.  It's amazing!

I know that not every place we go is going to work so well for us, but I'm really glad that for now, it is.  So tonight was our base's version of National Night Out.  We had to RSVP before hand and it was wonderful!
We were given tickets for a huge dinner at their buffet and POG of course!  We got tickets for a special ride and a door prize.  But the best tickets were for the ice cream we had at the end.  The kids got free goodie bags with treats to eat and to play, a lot of time in a bouncy house, cool balloon animals, and air brush tattoos.  And you know what?  It was all free!  For a family as big as mine to have so much fun for free is extremely rare.  What a fun evening.

We also got to meet some new friends today.  They moved in across the street.  Caleb, Laura, Caden, and  Lily are great!  We hope to spend a lot of fun time with them.  Wish us luck!

Hope you all had a great Tuesday!
