IKE Children's Half Way Party

 

The beginning of June was the Half Way party for the children whose mom/dad is aboard the IKE. Actually, for those of you who know how soon my hubby comes home... it wasn't half way at all - more like... ALMOST DONE party. Anyway, the party was held at Ft. Monroe (I just LOVE that place!). Each time I go there, I like it even more. The girls had great fun jumping in the inflatables, getting their face/arm painted, princess balloons, cupcakes, and Melanie even participated in a game! (Where she ran a poor girl with her across the finish line for 2nd place (just behind Mackenzie and her running mate). I'm proud of her - it was pretty much the first thing she's ever competed in.
