A Day With the Mitchums

We had a great weekend!  We went to Key West with our friends and their children.  We couldn’t have asked for a better day.  It went by too quickly, of course.  We went to the base for their celebration, or the "really huge party" as we described to the kids.  First, we went to Dairy Queen.  It is such a rare treat for my children, that they didn’t even know what the place was when we pulled up.  They quickly figured it out though, hehe.  It was a little messy, but oh so worth it.  Nothing is better than ice cream on a hot summer day.

Here’s Kaitlyn, not so patiently waiting on her ice cream.

 

And here’s one of each of the kids enjoying a Blizzard - might actually be Kaitlyn’s first blizzard.

 

 

After the ice cream, we headed over to the big party.  They loved the big waterslide, it was huge!  Riley climbed up and went down one side, and Kaitlyn got help from daddy for the other side. 

 

Then they played on the bounce house, which I don’t have pictures of because Kaitlyn made me get in that thing.  She loved it.  Riley loved it.  Let’s just say they could have stayed in that thing all day long.  Then we ate lunch, yummy!  And we hung out on the playground.

And relaxed cloud watching - at least for a minute or two haha.

 

Then we went over to the beach and watched the fireworks over the ocean.  It was so beautiful, and relaxing.  The children weren’t afraid of the booms from the fireworks.  And Kaitlyn described the fireworks as "so cute"  It was really ended up being one of the best days.
