Veteran's Day (11/11/11)

One of my favorite things about living in a "military town" is that there are so many things that people do for the service members. Veteran's Day weekend was jam-packed full of things to honor the veterans. It's still weird to think sometimes that Brian's a veteran, because he's so young, but there are so many younger than Brian that can claim the same title! Anyway, on Veteran's Day, we ventured down to Ft. Sam for a free concert. They also had tons of booths with yummy food and activities for the kiddos. Since the concert was a bunch of country music, and I'm not a fan, I took Landen to play at the activities while Brian and Abrie hung out with his buddies and watched the show. Here's a few of the things Landen did: (and sorry the pictures are taken at night)

Who can resist a bouncy house?

And of course there must be balloon animals and face painting!
Landen asked for a "monster". He wanted a monster balloon too, but the guy said it would take too much time (I think we got in the wrong balloon line because he was kind of a grump, and the girl making them in the other line was making much better quality ones!)

Landen also got to taste his first funnel cake....yum! He of course could care less about food! It was a fun evening, and very patriotic (even if I didn't like the kind of music ;). I'm very grateful for my veteran husband and brother, and the many other friends that have served our country by putting their lives on the line! I have so much because of them!
