Charleston AFB Picnic

Yesterday we attended the base picnic. I always love to go to these functions, because there is FREE food and FREE entertainment.


They had a mini size C-17. I was so in love with it. Everything mini is cute. Another reason why I like it so much is because I could actually take a picture with my family in front of it and be able to see their faces still. With a real C-17 the plane is so big you have to scoot so far back to get the plane in the picture that you can't see the people in the shot. I couldn't pass up the moment(and then the guy who took the picture cut off half of the plane. That was the whole point of the picture, UGH!)

Of course they had rides, blow up castles, and games

MAMA said KNOCK YOU OUT!

Ready to Rumble

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Round 1...
I get a good shot of Dad in the face

Round 2....
Dad knocks me out. Yes, those are my feet in the air

Dad thinks he is hot stuff

Men never grow up
Seriously, the big blow up boxing ring was so much fun. I had never seen one before. Don't let it fool you. It was a lot harder than you think. If its not hard enough to stand on something that moves, you have to hold those big gloves (which were about 20 lbs each) It was so hard to swing my arms around. And as soon as Dad would hit me I would loose my balance and fall. That was a lot of weight we were swinging around. It was sooooo much fun. Y'all have got to try it sometime.


Thanks Charleston AFB for letting us have a day of fun
