Swimming & the Armory - 02.27.11

The morning after Abby's baptism, (this was Sunday, she was baptized Saturday evening) we met the fam at their hotel to chat and watch the kids swim. We didn't have Mal's suit since we didn't anticipate having time for her to swim, so she ended up in her undershirt and a swimmer. As you can see, she didn't mind.

After swimming, we went to the National Guard Armory in town. You might remember that our nephew Braden had an 'army party' ... we thought it would be cool for him and the other kids to see some helicopters and military vehicles so I asked my dad if he could give us a tour of the armory. You might say he knows a thing or two since he worked there for 35+ years.

First they got to climb into a Hum-V...

What a weekend!
