As we got closer they started to perk up. Austin thought all the snakes were cool. 
They each got Fire Chief hats. Abigail wouldn't wear hers, but Austin wore his the entire time we were at the Fest. I couldn't get him to climb on the fire truck to get a picture, this was the closest I could get.
Then of course he had to play all the games they had set up. Here he was playing the bean bag toss.
And of course he had to get a round of golf in. He wasn't quite sure how to hold the big golf club, it's much different than his plastic ones.
Here's Austin with his balloon sword. He had to have one, so we waited in line for about 5 minutes. Then he had to go potty, so when we came back, we had to wait in line for another 5 minutes. But, he got his balloon and I didn't have to hear any more whining about it!
All the food at the Fest was free, including popsicle's!
The kids enjoyed theirs on the way to the car.
Once we got to the Fest, the weather turned really warm. I totally forgot about sunscreen so I got a little red and so did Abigail. Luckily, it's only Abigail's nose and cheeks that are pink. Next time I'll have to remember sunscreen!
I'm pretty sure Austin had a great time. As we were leaving the Fest he said, "Mommy, I had fun." I'm glad he had a good time, after all, the Fest was for him and his sister.

I love the fact that the Military has these wonderful festivials for our young children to enjoy.
Maybe one day we can all go together to these festivials. Then Austin can show Riley how to be brave and enjoy some of the games.
I think it is great that the military has festivals for the kids. They deserve to have fun time like that because they give up a lot having their mommies and daddies away for so long. I'm glad everyone had a good time even without sunscreen.
